Constance Gray
Constance "Connie" S. Gray, age 76, of Celina, passed away at her home in Celina on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.
She was born April 28, 1947 in Mercer County to the late Lewis A. and Ruth M. (Spicer) Gray.
Survivors include life partner, Ronald "Ron" Hammons, Celina; sister, Sharon (Rick) McGowan, Celina; her dear friend, Liz Curtin, Shelter Island, New York; and her friends from both Mercer County District Library and the Windemere Bay Condo Community.
Connie attended Neptune Schools through the 8th grade and was a 1965 graduate of Celina High School. She attended WOEF (West Ohio Education Foundation) and the Ohio State University in Columbus.
She worked at Mercer County District Library in Celina since 1996 as a Library Assistant and for the past 10 years has been the Library's Adult Services Coordinator. Connie has led decades of book discussion groups and has cultivated close relationships with hundreds of library patrons, many of which have become like family.
Connie was an avid reader who was always reading a book from the library or updating her list with all of the books she had yet to read. She loved to garden and planting her flowers was a spring ritual she looked forward to all winter. Connie truly loved the ocean and she and Ron traveled frequently to Florida or the Carolinas. She was a wonderful cook and was always researching recipes looking for her next great dish. Most of all, Connie loved to spend time with her family and friends enjoying good food and drink and making memories.
She was a member of the Celina Eagles and Mercer County Democrats.
A gathering of family and friends will be held Sunday, April 28, 2024 from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm at Cisco Funeral Home in Celina. The family requests that you dress casually for Connie's celebration. Light refreshments will be served.
