Constance R. Cyr

Constance (Roy) Cyr, age 87, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 5, 2024. She was born August 28, 1937 in the small town of Fort Kent, Maine to Leo and Yvonne (Thibodeau) Roy. She grew up in rural Maine with her three sisters, Cathleen Parsons, Geraldine Nicknair and Bernedette Roy as well as two brothers, Roger Roy and Pete Roy. Throughout their lives, they were known to reminisce of childhood stories with much laughter. Constance was married for 62 years to Valmon Cyr, who preceded her in death on March 28, 2022. They raised their family in Connecticut, Florida and New Jersey. While Valmon was busy working to provide for his family, Constance (lovingly known as Connie) ran the show at home. She did it all from painting, wallpapering, fixing appliances and lawn mowers, and more, all while lovingly raising her children. Known for her devotion to her family, Connie was a loving mother to 4, grandmother to 9 and great-grandmother to 12. Connie was predeceased by her daughter, Lisa in 2018 and leaves behind her two surviving daughters, Brenda Wolfanger and her husband Michael of Milford, PA, and Linda Cosgrove and her husband Teddy of Mt. Arlington, NJ. She also leaves behind her son, Jeffrey Cyr and his wife Kimberly of Hamburg, NJ. She was predeceased by one granddaughter, Katy Whitehead in 2020 and will be missed dearly by her surviving grandchildren, Sean, Ashley, Brett, Christopher, Ryan, John, Alyssa, Zac and their families. She has one surviving brother, Pete Roy in Nevada. Connie will be remembered for her effortless dedication to her family. After raising her children, she went on to provide day care to all her grandchildren at one time or another. She always put everyone’s needs before her own. Her home was the gathering place with plenty of food and laughs. She will be greatly missed by her family, including many nieces and nephews and extended family. Please join us celebrating in her life on Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at Pinkel Funeral Home, 31 Bank St (Route 23), Sussex, NJ 07461 with a visitation time from 10 a.m. to 12 noon.
