Constance Ann Raney – Concord Monitor


Constance “Connie” Ann Raney

Loudon, NH – Constance “Connie” Ann Raney (Wells), age 89, of Loudon NH, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 28th, 2026, surrounded by her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren at her bedside.

Connie was born in Concord, NH on January 19th, 1937, to the late Guy and Gladys Wells. She was the beloved wife of Robert “Bob” Raney for 63 wonderful years, with whom she shared three children, eight grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren with. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.

Connie grew up on a working farm in Loudon, NH with her family. She then worked as a hairdresser at the Merrimack County Nursing Home where she retired after 21 years of service. In her free time, Connie enjoyed adventures, sightseeing, snowmobiling, and camping with her husband, friends, and family – most notably her time spent in the White Mountains of NH, and Totem Pole Campground on Lake Ossipee. She took her grandchildren fishing, looked forward to beach days with her family, and enjoyed basking in the sun on her porch. Connie was a lover of animals from wildlife, to farm animals, to dogs and cats. She also loved music – singing, and dancing; doing puzzles; watching Hallmark movies and Boston sports; and shopping. She was a socializer, and looked forward to events like Loudon Old Home Day, her great grandchildren’s birthday parties, and other family gatherings and holidays, especially Christmas. Connie was a dedicated member of the Loudon “Young At Heart” group, and also volunteered on the Loudon Cate Van, a service that helped to connect community members with essential services. Connie was a radiant, cheerful spirit with a knack for being silly and making people laugh, especially her family, who will miss her deeply.

In addition to her loving husband, Connie leaves behind her children, Scott Raney of Hopkinton, NH, Michelle Raney Benson and husband Peter Benson of Hopkinton, NH, and Bryant Raney and wife Denise Walker Raney of Loudon, NH; her grandchildren, Kaylee Raney Henriksen and husband Joshua Henriksen of Hopkinton, NH, Kelsie Benson Stuart and husband Collin Stuart of Acton, ME, Kendall Benson of South Portland, ME, Courtney Benson Karanasios and husband Tyler Karanasios of Hopkinton, NH, Peter Scott Benson II and wife Emma Benson of Hopkinton, NH, Hayden Benson and wife Nicole Benson of Jackson, WY, Steven Benson of Hopkinton NH, and Jacob Raney of Lake Tahoe; her great grandchildren Jaela Brown, Sylus Henriksen, Lincoln Stuart, Fletcher Stuart, Calvin Stuart, Wells Karanasios, Adley Benson, Raney Benson, and Sawyer Benson; many nieces and nephews; and her cherished dog, Duke. As Connie would always say, “Keep waving.”

Connie was predeceased by her parents and her four brothers: Omar “Smokey” Cochran, Russell Cochran, Edward Wells, and Arthur Wells.

A graveside service will be held on Thursday, May 7th at 10:00 am at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery, 110 Daniel Webster Hwy, Boscawen, NH. The Veterans Cemetery requests that guests arrive 15 minutes early. A private celebration of life will take place at the home of Connie and Bob following the ceremony.
