Constance was always fond of the outdoors and she would often be found in the garden tending her beloved flowers and plants. for those that will remember her as family, she was gentle and caring yet firm in her guidance and knowledge. She always brought out the light on a cloudy day and saw the potential in everything and because of this she will be missed greatly by family and friends alike.
