Connie was born in Lockhart, Texas then later moved to San Antonio, Texas, where she lived most of her life. In 1962 she married and moved to California (Camp Pendleton) and lived there for approximately 5 years. In 1967 returned to San Antonio, Texas. She worked hard all her life, having numerous jobs. A few of these jobs included picking cotton, working in a meat plant and working for a cleaning service but the job she really enjoyed and was most proud of was taking care of her clients after she became a Certified Nurse's Aide.

Once Connie retired she enjoyed making jams and muffins not just for family but for neighbors and the entire community. She was well known and loved by everyone in the neighborhood and community. She enjoyed spending time with her family, playing games, such as Yahtzee and poker, working on word search puzzles, joking around, always smiling, and laughing. She loved music and loved to dance. She was an active member of the Sidney Lanier Alumni.

She was like everyone's mom. She was loved by everyone. She will be forever in our hearts, in our dreams. We know she went to heaven with the Lord.
