Connie graduated high school from Forrest Strawn Wing in 1969, and from the Tuley School of Beauty Culture in Champaign. She owned and operated Connie’s Beauty Shop from 1972 to 1982. She was a paraprofessional in the Prairie Central Community School Unit #8. Connie was a dedicated member of the United Methodist Church of Chatsworth. She served as a Sunday School teacher and contributed to numerous committees and events, including Vacation Bible School, the Fall Bazaar, the annual free Thanksgiving Dinner, and Walk to Emmaus. She also coordinated American Red Cross community blood drives in Chatsworth for 25 years.

Connie was a quiet doer. Her kind and generous acts included providing meals, sending cards, giving rides to appointments, and being a peaceful presence to those in need. She loved to laugh and could dish it out as well as take it, especially with her family. Holidays were always at Connie and Duane’s, filled with laughter, chaos, good food, and fun. Connie will be remembered for her unwavering faith, devotion to her church, and deep love for her family, especially her grandchildren.
