Connie was a 1961 graduate of Jackson High School, where she had been a cheerleader. She was an active member of The Church at McNatt in rural Wells County, where she helped on several different committees and made lifelong friendships.
Connie’s greatest joy was her family, who truly were the light of her life. She cherished every moment spent with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Her family will forever remember her as their biggest encourager, supporter and source of unconditional love.
