Her interests included tennis, bowling, painting, reading, walks, church, music, signing, choir, farkle and Bingo with the grandchildren with prizes like pencil eraser, note pads, stickers, bubbles or anything she likely found on sale and thought the grandkids and their parents would like.

Connie was extremely loving and a saint! She had a heart of gold. Most importantly, she cared more about others, than she did herself! Grandma, or "Grandmall" as we called her, because she loved to shop. Connie had funniest, silliest sense of humor that made her totally irresistible. Wal Mart was referred to as "Walnuts" and overalls were "over hauls".
