The most amazing aunt anyone could ever have. I will always remember her caring and thoughtful heart, and her hugs that I couldn’t wait for when I was a child. And she never forgot a birthday!! Lol
May God rest your soul, dear cousin, and may your memory be eternal!

My mom and Connie were lifelong, forever friends and spoke often. It was a treasured friendship. Sending light and love, and our hope that memories of dear Connie will bring you comfort.

Teresa and Kathy..Sorry for the loss of your Mom! Will always remember her and times shared together (both fun and sometimes interesting).Love, Gary
Although I came into the family later in life, Connie welcomed me with open arms. That’s just who she was, so accepting and looking for the good in people. I will always cherish the times we spent together. May she rest in peace.
I just found out Connie passed away when my Christmas card to her was returned as non deliverable. A search of her name proved what I had hoped would not be true. We grew up together in the Sioux City Orthodox church. We reconnected several years ago and enjoyed exchanging letters. So sorry to learn of her passing and pray God has given you comfort. She was a very special lady. May he r memory be eternal. 🙏 Sandi Rice (and Dave) Wurster
