Constance Kwiatkowski Brakenbury

Constance Kwiatkowski Brakenbury, 80, of Waterport, died peacefully on May 12, 2020. She was born on March 11, 1940 in Albion, a daughter of the late Arthur and Eleanore (Lewandowski) Kwiatkowski, and she lived in this area all of her life.

Connie graduated from Albion High School and then attended Bryant & Stratton College in Buffalo, where she majored in business. She was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary at St. Mary’s Church in Albion, and also at the Carlton Fire Department. She loved to shop, vacation at Top Sail Island, make arts and crafts, watch birds and, most of all, watch TV – she used to say, “My TV never let me down.”
