The pair moved back to Cheltenham, and Constance worked as a nurse at Sunnyside Maternity Hospital in Pittville.
She retired in 1944 when her first son was born.
Her youngest daughter, Wendy Dash, praised her mother for her loving care.
"She is an excellent mother, and is very supportive and caring of all her children and husband," Wendy said.
"She is very well travelled, and loves doing different things, such as knitting.
"Mum is an incredible lady. She loves her family and we absolutely adore her."
While Constance brought up her children, her husband worked as a minister at St Stephen's Church in Cheltenham.
When her husband died in 1989, she continued to live at her home in the Lansdown area.
She moved into Badgeworth Court last year.
