SARATOGA SPRINGS - “What you leave behind is not what is engraved on a stone monument, but what is woven into the lives of others.” Pericles

Constance Smith Lewis Molloy, age 88, passed away on June 27, 2022 at Wesley Healthcare Center with her daughters by her side. She is at peace in the arms of our Lord.

Connie was born on August 25, 1933 in Glens Falls, NY, the daughter of the late Chester Smith, Sr. and Ethel White Smith.

Connie attended Ballston Spa schools and then Manpower training and was a Special Education Aide for the Shenendehowa School District for many years. She had a compassionate heart for children with special needs.

Connie raised four children as a single mother who worked hard to give them a good life and taught them good morals. She instilled in her children a sense of adventure and wonder for life and a good sense of humor. In her children’s eyes, she was truly a Super Mom and Wonder Woman rolled into one.

She is survived by her sons; Gordon Lewis, Sr., Timothy Lewis (Tara); daughters, Valerie Lewis Resue (Rich), Barbara Lewis Howe (Glenn Muller); brother, Robert Smith (Georgette); grandchildren, Elizabeth Lewis Collis (Jerry), Gordon Lewis, Jr., Gabriel Lewis, Amy Resue Meehan (Ryan), Samuel Resue; great-grandson, Jacob; great-granddaughters, Evelyn, Abigail; many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her sisters, Jessie Mae Smith and Marguerite Petty, brother-in-law Paul Petty, brothers Willie, Harold and Chester Jr., the father of her children, Frank C. Lewis, Jr., and long-time companion, Edward Lewis, Sr.

The family would like to thank Community Hospice, especially Heather, Abby, Tammy, Brandi and Jan for their guidance and care through Mom’s transition.  The family would also like to thank Wesley Health Care Center staff for their care and concern throughout this past year.
