Connie worked as a secretary and did contract cleaning for various businesses in the area.

In her younger years, Connie loved the outdoor activities.  She loved swimming, water skiing, fishing, frogging, horseback riding, mushroom hunting, and ice fishing.  As she got older her interest turned to gardening, flowerbeds, walks, collecting Precious Moments and getting together with family and friends for cards and dice games!

As she battled her illness, she cherished any healthy days she had to spend with her loving husband, Kevin and their “fur baby” Cash.
