Connie Roberts, 66, peacefully passed away on December 3rd 2020 surrounded
by her beloved family. Connie was born on March 29, 1954 in Terceira,
Portugal, immigrating to Canada in 1968, where she called home for most of
her life. Connie was a wonderful woman, her family was at the center of
every decision she ever made, her love for her family was evident to all
that knew her. Often referred as a 'force' by her coworkers, she was just
as loyal at work as at home, she worked in communications at Bell and
affiliates for over 30 years. She loved to travel and did so as often as
possible with her friends and family. Connie's favourite thing to do was
be with her grandchildren, where ever and whenever possible. She never
missed a recital, practice, concert or anything else she deemed important
(which was every little thing).
She will be fiercely missed by all that knew her.
She is survived by her husband Doug, three children, Sean, Nicole (Jeff),
Julia (Neal), four granddaughters Ella, Charlotte, Blakeleigh, Madelyn,
and her two brothers, John (Hercelia) and Dennis.
