Connie enjoyed Christian fellowship, loved God, and took pleasure in tending her flower garden. Connie was an avid reader of the Bible, archeology, history, anthropology, as well as, many other interests.

Connie loved her son very much, and she really enjoyed his company. She also loved to care for her friends and holding them up in prayer when it was needed.
