Constance Mae Stanko Gobora, known as Connie to all those that knew and loved her, resided most recently in Wheat Ridge, CO to be close to her daughter, Kim, and family. She passed away Thursday, November 19, 2020, at Morning Star Assisted Living in Wheat Ridge, CO, from microvascular disease following a three-week illness.

Born in Danville, PA, on February 13, 1932, Connie was the daughter of Edward F. and Helen A. (Gorko) Stanko. She grew up in Danville and graduated from St. Cyril Academy in Danville in 1949 and Bloomsburg University receiving a bachelor’s degree in Education in 1952, completing her degree in three years. Connie’s first teaching position was at Warminster Centennial Elementary School. Connie was working on a master’s degree at Bucknell University when she met her late husband, Harry J. Gobora, Jr. They were married on May 16, 1959 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Danville. The couple moved to Levittown, where they raised their family. Connie continued to pursue her master’s degree at Penn State University while teaching in Bristol Township. Connie taught at various elementary schools in Bucks County, the last being Emerson Elementary. Connie retired from teaching in 2001 after over 40 years in the profession. To say that Connie was passionate and dedicated to educating children would be an understatement.
