Connie loved many things in this world including her pet dogs and cats, wolves, baking, being outdoors, gardening, canning, and decorating for every holiday. She loved to float in the water on a tube, although she never was able to swim. She was a proud, independent woman as a homemaker for many years to her six children and later her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Connie enjoyed many things during her time in this world such as dancing, country music, playing cards, and spending time with her family. She was a proud mom who enjoyed watching her sons and grandsons compete in their bowling league. Connie loved when her son and grandson would take her to Brewer games. She was even known to enjoy the occasional adventure to the boat and play scratch-off tickets. Connie worked at Advance Transformer and later Lands’ End for many years. She will always be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt by all that cared for her.
