I was saddened to hear the news of my mother in laws passing. I will miss our visits and our phone conversations about making quilts and her talking about Elvis! She might have been my mother in law but she’ll always be my Connie-Mom!
Connie was my sister and friend. I didn’t know her to many years, but for the ones I did she was a delight. I know that she was missing her husband so much. Now she will be with him forever.
Connie was a beautiful soul, always smiling. I so enjoyed worshipping with her at Redeemer Lutheran Church for many years. Little did we know her son married my sister.
Prayers for peace and comfort for her family and friends during this difficult time. She will be deeply missed. RIP Connie
I feel blessed to have known Mrs. Connie. She was always so very pleasant. She always kept her hands manicured so perfectly with her signature red fingernail polish. I just know that she is rejoicing with the Lord! The Lord bless and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace.
Numbers 6: 24-26
Praying 🙏 for all the families during your time of grief. She will truly be missed at Westgate Church Of Christ. She always had a smile on her face when she greeted you when she came to Church. RIP my sister in Christ. Heaven just welcome one of his daughters ❤️.
Very nice lady my husband and I lived by her and husband for years may the Lord be with the family at this time
Connie was a faithful member at Westgate Church of Christ for a number of years. Her bright, positive attitude always radiated sunshine to those around her. She will be missed by all of us who knew and loved her.
