Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Scott and Family, I am very sorry to hear about your Mom. Keep her memories close to your heart. Wanted you to know that you are all in our prayers. Friends always, Tim, Leah and Family
Angela, Scott and Family, I had the pleasure of working side-by-side with Connie when she moved to the Data Center. She was such a caring and thoughtful person and a real joy to work with. I was amazed at her cheerfullness during her illness. Every time I spoke with your Mom, her spirits were high and outlook positive. A group of us visited her in March and we talked about her good view of the swimming pool from her apartment. We talked about how fun it would be to watch all the ‘skinny young things’ in their bikinis and maybe toss a rock their way! But Connie said, no she would be watching the guys in the speedos! Her sense of humor was still going strong. A group of us were at a software conference in Canada when we learned of her passing. Connie had gone to Canada with us one year. For the rest of the conference, my thought were of Connie and all the laughs we had. Many of those at the conference remembered her and pass along their thoughts and prayers. You Mom had dignity and was a Classy Lady. I will miss her. Dena Elliott
To Connie’s family: I am so sorry to hear about Connie’s passing and want to take just a moment to share my experiences with your mother, grandmother and daughter. I first met Connie in Jan, 1990 when she worked downtown with Jim Gates. I was brand new to the district and very young at the time. I worked next to her office for close to five years and she always had great advice for me. Also, she was so much fun..every day we would visit for a least a few minutes, discussing jewelry, wichita, my inability to find a decent date at the time… and she always made me laugh. She was incredibly professional, caring, and never had a negative word to say. She set a great example for all of those around her. Her smile and the light in her eyes lit up the room… how I enjoyed her. She was so supportive of me when I went back to grad school and when I’d later run into her, no matter how busy she was, she’d always take the time to say hello and catch up. Eventually we lost touch because I switched jobs, but I’ll never forget her influence on me as a young woman. She was truly an angel walking among the rest of us. My thoughts are with her and your family. I know how much she will be missed. Sincerely, Andree (Burke) Walsh
Please accept my truest condolences. Connie & I were preschool best friends because our parents were good friends. It is so sad to hear she’s gone. I wish we had had a chance to ‘catch up’ someday. It’s so easy to lose touch over the years with those who are dear to our hearts. You are all in my prayers.
My heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to all of you. I have known and loved all of you most of my life and you have my dearest and deepest sympathy. I have many wonderful memories of Connie and she will be deeply missed.
My condolences to the family of Connie. I am a former classmate in the 1965 graduating class. It saddens me to hear of her death. My deepest sympathy to you.
Scott, Angela, Denise, Willette and Uncle Wood, my thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this difficult time. I believe we were all so very lucky and fortunate to have Connie in our lives. I will always remember her wonderful smile and that great laugh. Her geniune kindness, love of family and friends was an inspiration for all of us. I was so proud to call her ‘cousin’. I know she’s up in heaven and one day we’ll all be together again. All my love…Dave
