Following her graduation from high school, Connie was proud to have secured a position in the payroll department at the General Electric Company where she would eventually meet John Mayo. Connie would go on to marry John in 1961 and together they would raise 4 children. Their marriage would endure for over 50 years until Johns passing in 2013. Connie would later work at Rae Ray's Coffee Shop at 50 Wolf Road where she retired after more than 20 years. Connie enjoyed parties, time spent with family and friends and was never seen without her pocketbook. She was affectionately known as the "Pocketbook Lady" at Saratoga Center.
