Connie Marie Riale, 64, of Lincoln University, PA, passed away on September 4, 2026. She was born on December 19, 1961, in Havre de Grace, Maryland, to the late Charles “Lindy” Lindbergh Bramble, Sr. and Alice Marie (Poore) Bramble.
Connie was a resilient, caring, and hardworking woman who was always willing to lend a helping hand to those around her. She was a dedicated employee who worked as a secretary for DuPont and was never afraid of hard work, often working two jobs to provide for her family and build a good life for those she loved. Her faith was an important part of her life, and she was a member of Rock Church in Fair Hill.
Connie had a lifelong love of horses and animals. In her younger years, she enjoyed horseback riding and fox hunting, and she was, as those who knew her would say, a big “horse girl.” Her love for animals was a reflection of her compassionate nature.
Above all else, Connie’s greatest joy was her family. Her life revolved around her son, and she was deeply involved in his life, taking him to many sporting events. In later years, her grandchildren became the center of her world. She cherished every moment with them and took great pride in watching them grow.
Connie will be remembered for her strength, generous heart, tireless work ethic, love of animals, and above all, the deep love she had for her family.
Connie is survived by her son, Raymond “Ray” Slicer Riale, IV; her grandchildren: Brielle Grace Riale, and Archer Charles Riale; and her former husband, Raymond “Skip” Slicer Riale, III.
In addition to her parents, Connie was preceded in death by her brother, Charles “Charlie” Bramble, Jr.
A celebration of life will be held for Connie on Monday, September 14, 2026 at 10:00AM at R.T. Foard Funeral Home P.A., 259 East Main Street, Elkton, MD 21921, where friends and family may begin visiting at 9:00AM. A burial will follow the service at Sharp’s Cemetery in Elkton, MD.

I am so sorry to hear about Connie’s passing. Although I haven’t seen her for many years, she was a very good friend to me when we worked “nextdoor” to each other at DuPont. Connie was such a fun person to be around. She always had a smile at the ready. Rest peacefully.

Ray my deepest condolences on the loss of your mother, Connie. She spoke of you often with a mother’s pride. Connie was well liked by many in DuPont and was a good friend of mine in Engineering. She will be remembered for her kindness to all who knew her. I am stunned she is gone. May peace and comfort console you in your grief.

I am stunned by this news. Connie was the ever-kind and caring presence during my time in DuPont. Just a calm and reassuring individual. So we lose another loving spirit.

Words cannot express the type of woman Connie was not only did. I grow up being friends with her Son and neighbors with her, but she treated me like I was family always. The amount of childhood memories I have that are great because of the efforts of this woman are astronomical. She has an amazing son Ray, who I was fortunate enough to grow up being friends with through our childhood. One of the hugest benefits of being friends with Ray growing up that I didn’t realize till later in life was how I was to have somebody treat me like their own son. I had a second mother in Connie and I can never forget that. When they say somebody was like a second mother to you it’s not just the words that express that sort of relationship. When it comes to Connie she literally was your second mother and lived that life. My love of old bay seasoning and crabs is because of her families traditions, and my exposures to the Maryland crab lifestyle. I never went on a boat or crabbing before Connie took us out for amazing days on the bay. We would go crabbing in the morning tubing all afternoon and then just anchor up at the sandbar to finish out the day. She would sit on the back porch and watch me and Ray ride dirt bikes for hours. Take us to the mall at the busiest times of the year just so we could feel like we were in the mix. From beef jerky runs to the convenience store or staying up till midnight on New Year’s Eve when we were young, just to give us the experience of it. Connie’s greatest gift to me will always be Just showing me how to seize the moment and enjoy it not say no to an opportunity of fun or trying something new. It’s easy as an adult to get in the routine and stay consistent with it. I loved going over to Ray’s house because Connie could throw you a curveball at any moment. We could just be sitting in the backyard, pretending to be hunters and she would walk out back and say who wants to go to an Orioles game one hour later we’re halfway to Camden yards. That sort of spark and enjoyment in life, you can’t teach, but she was able to teach it to me, and I hope to pass it on to all my children. In my opinion, she’s the true definition of somebody who lived life and enjoyed the moment and I will never forget how well she did that. RIP until we meet again If you’re with your parents, tell your dad PP says hi (I think Ray will get the joke)

I pray the love she shared, the memories she created, and the lives Connie touched will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who truly knew and loved her. She will be missed, the legacy she leaves behind will continue to speak for her forever. God bless her memory and the hearts she touched. ✝️🩷✝️🩷✝️
