June 6th, 1890 - April 25th, 1964

She is a Gemini.

Constance Willard was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota to David Willard and Cora Day. She had 4 siblings: Imma (later McCall; 1880 - 1976), Paul Day (1882 - 1956), Eugenia (Jean) Florence (1892 - 1893), and Louis Grey (1894 - 1896). In the 1900 U.S census lists the family living in Minneapolis, Minnesota. David was a lumber dealer and Cora had no occupation, Imma, Paul, and Constance are present in this census. In the 1910 census, they were listed as retired, and Cora and Constance are listed as jobless.

Aboard Titanic/April 14th-15th, 1912:
Constance boarded the RMS Titanic at Southampton as a 1st class passenger.

"I had been reading in my bed late Sunday night....I had just shut my book when there was a tremendous crash. I sat up in bed. The crash was followed after a moment by a great trembling; then for a moment it was unnaturally quiet because the engines had stopped and with them the vibration...I had a peculiar sensation that something had happened which I had been expecting. I was not in the least alarmed. I had an uneasy feeling so I thought I'd call the steward. There was no answer when I pushed the bell. I repeated it several times and then kept it ringing. Finally he came into the room. His face wore a scared expression which struck me rather funny. He told me I must put on my clothes and get out on deck."

At first, Constance refused to get into a lifeboat, and so an exasperated officer said "Don't waste time—let her go if she won't get in!" But eventually, Constance got aboard. She was rescued, but it isn't known in which boat.

"I finally did get into the fourth from the last to leave the ship. There were only 15 people in the boat. I was in and of these there was only one other first-class passenger. The others were five sailors and the balance steerage passengers. I shall never forget the sinking of the Titanic. We had not gone off the Titanic 20 minutes before she went under. The ship was lighted until it disappeared under the waves. Shortly after it had sank the cries of those in the water rent the air."

After The Sinking/Later Life/Death:
In the 1920 U.S census Constance is listed living with her uncle Eugene Day, Aunt Mabel Day, and grandmother Lavinia Day living at West 8th Street, Riverside, California. She was listed in the 1930 census as a single 39 year old woman who was without a job living in Riverside, California and in the 1940 census as a retired single woman who had completed 1 year of college. In later life it seems Constance suffered from mental illness and was hospitalized at Las Campanas Hospital in California. She was remembered by a staff member as a quiet, reserved, and "prematurely aged" with long white hair with several cats which were her sole companions. When the hospital showed A Night To Remember she sat and watched impassively.

She never talked about the sinking and on the 50th anniversary of the disaster staff at the sanitarium were instructed to avoid the subject and discourage reporters from trying to interview Constance. Constance never married and she died on April 25th, 1964 in California. Constance was cremated in Compton, California and her ashes were buried at Lakewood Cemetery, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
