I worked for Connie when I was a bagger at Chicago Market in 1979/1980 while I was a senior in high school at Corcoran. She was a good lady and a pleasure to work with.

Deepest sympathy to you - Sharon, John, the girls and Jonathon. Connie was truly a good friend. I really missed her after she left Applewood. Connie and I had a lot of good talks and much laughter, amongst our sorrows. She will always be in my heart and amongst my memories. I know your loss is immeasurable. Take care. Charmaine Woods

My heart sank when I read of Connie's passing. Connie was my "mom" ever since we started together at Marshalls. She was down to earth and told it like it was..Whenever I needed someone to talk to, she was always there for me..I loved her as much as anyone could love..part of her died when Tim passed. I'm sure he was waiting for her at those pearly gates! Sharon and John and grandkids, how lucky you were to have Connie..how lucky I was too!! Please accept my love and sympathy..Love, Judi
