Connie married the love of her life, Buck, on November 2, 1961, in Kokomo, Indiana. Many of their 62 years of marriage involved moving and traveling for Buck’s military commitment. Connie was proud to be an Air Force wife and belonged to the Security Police Wives Club. She raised four children. She served as a Boy Scout Den Mother for each of her boys and helped with the Girl Scouts for her daughter. She also sang in church choirs and taught Sunday School in various places she lived. As a military wife, Connie had the privilege to live outside the U.S. and in several states. She loved to travel, read, listen to music, care for her dogs and hear her husband sing. She loved her family and enjoyed being a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Connie belonged to the American WWII Orphans Network, the National WWII Memorial in Washington D.C., and the Howard County Genealogical Society.

Connie was preceded in death by her parents, two half-brothers-Virgil Fewell and John Parsons and a son Christopher Paul Bryant.
