Constance A Ward
You always knew when Connie arrived, her distinctive laugh and bubbly personality could light up any room. Perhaps that’s why she was so outgoing. She was always up for a get-together: it didn’t matter if it was a family party or just taking the kids, and all their friends, to soccer practice. She shared her personality while working at Walmart in Turnersville, and as a yoga and aerobics instructor. But she always had time for family. Invariably, she was the one to call when problems arose; she was known to have a sympathetic ear, a soothing word of advice and you could rest assured she would tell you the truth of the matter.rnrn While working for a computer company in the early 90s, Connie was introduced to a co-worker named Edwin. It wasn’t long until the two were married and living together in Franklinville. Their lives were blessed by their children: Steven and Kristen, both of Franklinville. Connie is survived by her father, Dominick Reale of Riverside, siblings: Tony Reale (Diane) of Riverside, Carol Lamaina-Herbert (Larry) of Delran and Cindy Cavanaugh of Riverside, her mother-in-law, Mary Jane Ward of Williamstown, brother-in-law, Raymond Ward of NY, her many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, her husband’s aunts: Joann Thatcher and Patty Merlino as well as the whole Fazzio Family of Glassboro. Connie was predeceased by her mother, Eleanor Reale and her father-in-law, Raymond Ward.rnrn Come share Connie’s 47 wonderful years (Feb. 29, 1964-Dec. 9, 2011) Tuesday from 6-9 PM and Wednesday from 8:30-9:30 am at the Sweeney Funeral Home 337 Bridgeboro St. Riverside, NJ 08075.

Connie was just a great lady I will always remember her, wonderful smile when she came into work. I would talk to her every night we worked together in the bakery ,for 9 months I worked there . I moved back over to the deli and just on Thursday night I said to her that we don’t get to talk as much as we used to. Then I said good night to her and told her I would see her later. I am so sorry for your loss I will miss her so much. God Bless all of you. Sincerely, jeannie from walmart bakery and now deli.
Dear Cindy,my prayers and thoughts are with you and all of your family. The Reale’s have been faced two times too by tragedy in these last months. With love and prayers, LuAnn
Steve,nnSorry to hear this bad news. I lost my father when I was young and I understand that it is a rough and tumultuous time that will take years to heal. Always remember that she lives in your heart and that you are a product of your mother’s hard work. When you are ready to move forward, due it in her honor. If you need to talk, you know where I am…nnThinking about you,nMr. Taylor
Dear Steve and the Ward Family, rnI am deeply saddened to learn of your mother’s tragedy. I hope you and your family can find strength in the comfort of your loved ones. It is through the warmth of the love of others that we can begin to heal. May you all find comfort, healing and love.rnYou are all in my thoughts, rnMrs. Duskee (WHS-English teacher)
I am so very sad to hear about connie,I have a lot of great memories shared with her and the reale family, my prayers and thoughts are with you all
Connie was always the best of the best! She was a great comrade during my tenure at Wal-Mart 1742. She was an inspiration and always pushed me to do better. If you had to talk about anything she would take the time and would know exactly what to say to put you back in the right state of mind. Truly a rare personality, you will be missed.
Connie was a wonderful person and such an encouragement to me personally at times. She was always smiling and always there to listen. I miss the old Wal-Mart days at 1742. Connie, your going to be remembered as a true friend, one that I will never be able to replace. You will be deeply missed.nnHebrews 12:2 “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”nn~Dale Anderson IInWalmart #2244nHuntington, West Virignia
