Constance Dezan

Lyme, N.H. — Constance E. “Connie” Dezan, 83 “went home,” Sunday, Sept. 24, 2017, at 9:45 a.m. at PathWays of the Valley Home in Lyme. Every Sunday at 10 a.m. her sister, Jean would pick her up to “take her home,” so the day and time of her passing for her final trip home was very appropriate.

She was born Feb. 13, 1934, in Randolph, Vt. The eldest daughter of Morris and Clara (Russell) Dezan. Her early years were spent in the Tunbridge and Strafford, Vt. area. She lived in Unity with her mother and stepfather, Savory Zigman for many years. She also lived with Tricia Perkins in Walpole, N.H. for 10 years.

She liked to go for long rides in the country and enjoyed trips to McDonalds. She liked to make things out of beads, look at cook books, help with cooking and spend time coloring. She loved her stuffed animals and had a large collection of them.

She is survived by two brothers, Wilbur Dezan of Newport, N.H. and John Dezan of Unity; five sisters, Norma Clark of Post Mills, Vt., Judith Fogg of White River Jct., Vt., Marilyn Rondos of Cornish, N.H., Jean Wright of Claremont, N.H. and Margaret Atwood of Bristol, N.H.; and several nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by three brothers, Robert, Richard and Joseph Dezan; and a sister, Sandra Dezan.

There are no public calling hours or funeral services. A private graveside funeral service for the family will be held at the Branchview Cemetery in South Royalton, Vt.
