Obituary of Constance Mary Coventry

celebrate the life of Constance Mary (Connie) Coventry (1932- 2018), wife of Kenneth Coventry, mother of Gary and Sandy Coventry, grandmother of Owen Coventry, with these loving memories. Connie spent half her life in Australia and half in the US. She and Ken and the family moved between the two countries several times. She and Ken, Gary and Sandy also lived in London for 4 years. They traveled the world extensively with many stops in Europe and game reserves in Africa. Connie was married to Ken for 65 years and is the mother to their 2 children - Gary who was born in Australia, and Sandy who was born in New York. Connie and Ken were members of the Noroton Yacht Club for 45 years. They sailed the Ensign Platypus most of that time, frequently during the week and on racing weekends. Connie was an active DCA member and enjoyed painting class and loved nature and flower arranging for many years. In retirement, Connie and Ken bought a residence in San Diego and spent winters there, and summers in Darien ever since. In San Diego, they were active in the Zoo, Wild Animal Park and Sea World. They enjoyed many walks on the beach, where Connie loved bird watching and particularly the Sanderlings. For many years they traveled back to Australia for long vacations until the trip became too arduous. Connie was known for her kind, gentle spirit, and an example for those who loved her.
