Mrs. Concetta M. "Connie" (Julian) Gigliotti

NEW HARTFORD – Mrs. Concetta M. “Connie” (Julian) Gigliotti passed away on Mother’s Day, Sunday May 14, 2023 in the peace and dignity of her own home and in the presence of those she cherished most. On May 30, 1950, she wed Captain Bernard J. “Bernie” Gigliotti, Ret. UFD. They shared a great and awesome life together, celebrating 62 years of marriage. The two were lovebirds and snowbirds, wintering Florida and back home in the summers. Her beloved Bernie passed away on July 17, 2012. Connie was larger than life. She loved her family – all three generations of them. Connie lived by phrase “dance as if no one is watching” and in addition she taught others that very same gift, especially when it came to line dancing! Anything Connie did, she did it with excellence. Her community spirit led her to be a loyal member of the Neighborhood Club. A woman of faith, she was devout her whole life and loyal to the parishes she attended. Connie is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Cynthia “Cindy” and David J. Circelli, Sr.; her son and daughter-in-law, Bernard J. “Bernie” III and Johann Gigliotti; her grandchildren, David Circelli, Jr., Michelle and Michael Hartmann; Bernard J. “B.J.”, IV and Jeanice Gigliotti, and Kristin and Andrew Abbate; and her great-grandchildren, Brayden Circelli, Michael, Benjamin, Lukas, and Nicholas Hartmann, Josephine, and Bernardo “Benny” Gigliotti, V; and Salvatore, and Vincenzo “Vinny” Abbate. Connie was fortunate to be born one of 12 children. She leaves behind many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. Connie’s family will honor and commemorate her life at a private time. It would be most meaningful to the family if memorial contributions in Connie’s name were made to Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. online at www.hospicecareinc.org/donate. Some wonderful caregivers pledged their loyalty to Connie and her family, their dependability and love was so precious: Theresa, Carol, Debbie, Barb, and Brittany. Thanks as well to Dr. Kevin McCormick and Dr. John Robertson, who were outstanding professionals who went above and beyond. In her time of final need, the gracious staff of Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. made the last days of her life dignified – thank you to all, it truly takes a village.
