Concetta Walmers (nee Giuliano), age 91 of Wayne and formerly of Queens, NY, died on Wednesday, December 16, 2015. She was raised in Brooklyn and had lived in Queens before moving to Wayne eight years ago. She had worked for a number of years as a secretary with the Diageo company in Manhattan.
Connie was fortunate to have been a full-time mother while raising her sons. The boys recall many good times with their mom when they were children, especially day trips out to Riis Park Beach in Rockaway. They also recall what a wonderful singing voice their mother had. As a parishioner of Holy Child Jesus Parish in Queens, Connie sang in the choir for many years. Perhaps the highlight of her experience was singing in the choir at Yankee Stadium during the Pope’s visit in the 1970’s. She also enjoyed organizing ‘plays’ among her family members, carefully selecting the singing parts, of course. They would gather on any given Saturday night and she would carefully choose who would play the various parts in the show, and then they would act it out, having great fun in the process! She has left a trove of fond memories for her family to treasure for years to come.
Connie met her husband Paul Walmers, Jr. while they were working together at the Barnes & Noble book store. Just one month after they met, Paul left to serve during World War II. They corresponded throughout the years he was gone and upon his return they were engaged. They married on January 11, 1947 and enjoyed a very loving marriage, holding hands and hugging each other often. They were a great couple and celebrated forty seven years together before Paul passed away in 1994.
Connie is survived by her two sons; Paul M. Walmers and his wife Arleen of Wayne, and Joseph Walmers of Wayne, two granddaughters; Jennifer Walmers of Belmore, NY and Heather Walmers of New Paltz, NY, one great-granddaughter; Adrianna Miceli of Belmore, NY, and her sister-in-law; Beverly Bewley of Ocala, FL.
