Emerita Connie Young Celebrates 105 Years

Ex-president and emerita Connie Young, 105 years old

On November 2, 2026, Brenda Bingham and Sarah Stransky attended this happy occasion along with 50 family members, friends, and dignitaries at the Annunciation Center on Saint Elizabeth University Campus in Morristown, NJ.  Connie received a degree in economics from the school in 1949.

The celebration included presentations of the United States flag, State resolutions, and the Governor’s proclamation. Connie’s loving family, representatives from the University, the State of NJ, and “WAVE” (the WWII women’s branch of the United States Naval Reserve) all honored this amazing lady. 

Connie was President of the Verona Garden Club, joined the Garden Club of Montclair in 1983 where she served as President from 1987-89, and served on the board of the Garden Club of NJ.  As an active member, Connie offered her willingness to help with many projects and share her time and leadership. 

Connie receives a folded American flag.

With great joy, we wish Connie continued good health and comfort.
