The youngest of 3 children from their union including Henrietta Mosley, and Wyman Golphin. She also had two half-brothers, James Edward Golphin and Henry Willie Golphin.

Constance lost her father at 5 years old. She then moved to New York with her mother. Sadly, Della passed when Connie was 11. She moved back to Georgia shortly after to live with her brother Wyman and his wife. By the age of 17, she had lived with several relatives and through resilience and determination, she graduated from Trinity High School in Atlanta, Georgia in 1969.

Throughout her life, Connie had several careers from Telephone operator, Traffic coordinator for Delta steamship Lines and finally a Railroad Clerk for New York City Transit. She always boasted about being a "Jack of all trades".

Constance was compassionate, funny, a seasoned soul and best of all an "O.G." The O stands for Outrageous! She loved helping others around her find solutions to any problems from family crisis to financial and anything in-between. Known for her Aphorisms and Epigrams whether you asked or needed to hear it at that time it was always refreshing. Her assiduous volunteer work for the PTA at P.S.159 and the people of the community is a testament to her love of helping anyone in need.

On January 16th, 2021 Connie departed this earthly life to join her parents, Henry and Della, her siblings, Henrietta and Wyman, her granddaughter Iyahsia and her nephew Vincent Mosley.
