Winthrop ~ Connie Rowley, 82, passed away on Sunday, March 30th, 2014, surrounded by her loved ones. Connie was born in Staten Island, New York on May 28th, 1931. She was the daughter of John and Eleanor Mojecki. Connie grew up in Staten Island, then moved with her family to Ayer, MA, where she graduated from Ayer High school in 1949. Connie married Roger W. Rowley in 1952. During their loving marriage they had four children and moved around New England due to Roger's active Military status. They finally settled in Winthrop in 1958. After moving to Winthrop, Connie worked as the crossing guard for the community’s youth, a dispatcher for the Winthrop police department and she retired from the telephone company in 1981 to enjoy and care for her grandchildren. Connie's love for her family was immeasurable and was her first priority. She enjoyed nature, playing bingo and cards, and spending time outside on her rocking glider while visiting with her special neighbors, Scott and Amanda Duchette and their two children, Adelaide and Winston. She had a strong love for animals, especially her cat Missy, and always enjoyed a nice John Wayne movie. Connie is predeceased by her husband, Roger W. Rowley, her youngest son, William Rowley, her parents and her five older siblings. She is survived by her daughter Candy Everett, husband Bob Everett, and their children Israel, Jake, and Miranda Everett, and her boyfriend Michael McInnis, of Winthrop; her daughter Diana Noble and her husband Gilbert Noble of Muncie, Indiana; her son, Roger Rowley and his girlfriend Judy Staples, of Manchester; her daughter-in-law and grandchildren of her late son, William Rowley, Michelle Rowley, Kara Rowley of Monmouth, Nicholas Rowley, and his wife Mary Rowley of Fayette. Connie was a loving mother, wife, grandmother, sister and friend. She was a compassionate woman who would do anything for others and will be dearly missed by all who knew her. In celebration of Connie’s life, relatives and friends are invited to visit on Saturday, April 5th from 2:00-4:00pm at Roberts Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 62 Bowdoin St., Winthrop.
