She went to a small elementary school there where she knew everyone. The Cuer family had a farm in Westfield where she spent a lot of time.

She and her mother moved to Rochester, New York when she was a young teenager. Iva was from a large family and most of them lived in Rochester.

Connie attended Jefferson High School for 4 years, and after graduation she married her first husband Elmer Gresens. They had 4 children, James, Janice, Judy and Joanne. Iva had remarried and lived on a farm in Bristol, New York. In 1951 Connie and Elmer moved to the farm in Bristol, it then became known as the family farm.

The marriage failed and in the early 1960’s she met and married Thomas Gerhart, who had 8 children Jackie, Thomas Jr., Stanley, Densie, Rosemary, Cora, Kelly and Andy. It was a very busy time. Connie and Tom had another child Tammy.

In 1969 Connie opened a restaurant in Honeoye, New York called Connie’s Drive In. It was a family run business which she operated for 30 Years.
