Connie (Lessard) Nardone

Constance J. “Connie” Nardone (Lessard), age 91, passed away peacefully at Saint Patrick’s Manor on December 22, 2024 after a ten year journey with Alzheimer’s disease. Throughout her long life, she maintained her sense of humor, generosity, kindness, positivity and love of family and friends.

Connie was born in Nashua NH to Elphege and Florence Lessard and was the eighth of thirteen children. Connie had five children Gary, Gail, David, Kenneth and Joyce with her former husband Richard Nardone. She lived in Needham most of her life.

Connie later founded her own real estate company (Nardone Realty). She enjoyed helping people find their perfect home or rental. Connie was a loving mother and grandmother, promoting faith, kindness, laughter. She loved spending time with family and friends, any occasion; be it birthday parties, holidays, dancing at Moseley’s. She always looked forward to the family reunions where she would sing karaoke. Her laughter and love of dancing was contagious. Trips to Rockport by the ocean and to the Cape made her smile and she often would go there with family and friends. She had a special way of making people feel important to her and would give little gifts picked out just for them.

Connie is survived by her children: Gail Sammarco and spouse Peter, David Nardone and spouse Sirima, Kenneth Nardone and spouse Nancy, Joyce Willette and spouse Eugene, her daughter in law Karen Nardone; her grandchildren: Sunisa, Michael, Victoria, Anthony, Zoe, Katianna, William, Daniel, Isabella and Julia, her great grandchildren Ananda and Satya and her brother Roland. Connie is predeceased by her eldest son Gary, her siblings Jacqueline, Conrad, Victor, Louise, Sylvia, Bernard, Robert, Normand, Pauline, Raymond and Wilfred and her former spouse, Richard.

Connie will forever be in our hearts.
