I have held this website in my favorites for a very long time. As you might have guessed since 2003. I write to you now because I often think of Connie and her oh so inspirational words that I so often need in my everyday life. I believe that she is with me in my trials and tribulations. I remember her fondly because she always uplifted me along with so many others. And I long for someone like her today. So her spirit stays within me. Life can be so loveless and lonely where shadows follow and darkness follows, but with the wisdom and kindness of her spirit I pull from her words that ring in my thoughts. I lost my mother 5 years ago and love her so. Sometimes I wonder how I live on without her but life begins anew with every breath of fresh air that we grasp. I thank the Lord for my rememberence of my wonderfully loving mother and for the inspirational classy Connie. God Speed, Melayna McConahay

She was a leader and proud of her profession. We want to just say Thank You again and again for being prvileged to know her and have her on our team.

Connie was one of the first people that I met when I moved to Indiana 9 years ago when I was only 10 years old. It was a very scarry and sad time for me as I moved away from the only home I ever knew, Colorado. Connie made that change easier. I went to rally with my mom and dad for the first time maybe only a week after being in Indiana. Connie was one the first person to greet me with her special smile.
Connie and I became great friends after that. Every time I would talk to her on the phone, she would always end the conversation with, "I love you, Kristi and I am so proud of you."
When I was a junior in high school, I picked Connie as my "Ideal Lady" for a club I was a part of. We were suposed to pick a lady that we looked up to and admired. Connie was my lady. We had a banquet in honor of her and all the other ladies in the community who were picked.
I loved Connie. She was just a very special friend. THanks Connie for all that you have done for me. You will never ever be forgotten as I will always hold a place for you in my heart. I hope to see you again someday (in a much better place.)
Love always,
Kristi Euneman
PS. And, I promise, we will have our special lunch together that we never got to have.

Connie was my friend. Since her death, I have missed her coming into rally every Monday with a big smile on her face telling me about new customers for the week. I miss all the quotes & inspirational messages that she would leave in a note. I miss al of her phone calls during the week. I miss her checking to see if I wore a coat that day. She was always being a Mom to all of us. I think about her & miss her everyday!
She was an inspiration to everyone she touched.
To Connie's children, she truly loved each & everyone of you & was so proud of your accomplishments.
And Ted, I never met a lady who loved her husband as much as she did.
She was truly dedicated to her family, to all the people she met, and her love for the Tupperware company. She will be missed by all of us.

To the family;
I will always remember Connie as a bright, energetic, positive leader in Tupperware. I had the privilege of being her Regional manager for many years and could always count on Connie's support through our Push times. She always had a smile for everyone and would talk to me about her "girls" and how much they meant to her. She was proud of her career and the ability it gave her to help others. She is a beautiful soul and someone I feel truely blessed to have known. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time. Love, Sandi Mullins

I just wanted to say what a great inspiration she was to me over the last 10 years. She was always positive about life. She was always asking how my 3 kids were especially the one with a disability. I really miss her telling me to not have any"stink'n think'n". I will really miss working with her. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Remember Phil.4:13.

I was only blessed to meet Connie a handful of times at rallies, but she was always so sweet and lively. She will be greatly missed by everyone. My heart is full of sadness for you all now, but know that Connie will never be far from your hearts.

Connie will be missed by all who were touched by her presence in their lives. No one ever had to tell me that she was a child of God it just shone through her in all that she did. I am sure that the Lord said "Welcome home my good and faithful servant when she entered the gates of Heaven." I never heard a mean or negative word from her lips. She was always full of inspiration and advice. Tupperware rallies will not be the same without her smiling face. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My husband and I were saddened to hear about Connie's passing. Don had the opportunity to hear her testimony at a Tupperware rally and was truly impressed with the way she reached everyone. Although, I didn't know her as closely as others, she always had time to say hello. May God Bless her Family during this difficult time.
Heaven has our precious angel.

My Momma, my angel...
Oh, Mommy little did I know when I met you in Daleville last Tuesday at this exact time, that it would be the last time I would ever see you on this earth again. I would have tried to tell you how incredible of a mother you have been to me all of my 36 years; how you gave me a faith in God that would be the ONLY thing that will be able to take me through the tragic shock and loss my heart was so soon to feel. I would have thanked you for loving Daddy for 53 years in the special way only you could, and thanked you for staying on this earth long enough to lovingly and carefully nurse him back to health three times the last three years when we thought 'he' would be the one to leave us. I would have thanked you for being the most giving, loving "Yiayia" (grandmother in Greek) to each of my eight precious children, etc... . Most of all, I would have held you, hugged you, and kissed your beautiful face that has smiled graciously at all those you have known and loved. When you asked me 'how I was' that day... I would have replied with your oh so honest answer of " I am grateful!".
As I remember with bittersweet tears this time last week, I know in my heart that your work on this earth was done... and that you are smiling, clothed in GOD's righteousness that you so deserve. You have no more worries or stress and no more of the pains of this ugly world. I have seen your beauty and peace every day in the gorgeous weather we have been blessed with since you left us. I will honor your memory by taking care of Daddy and trying to be the kind of wife and mother YOU were. Your faith in GOD was the most important gift you gave to me and many others, and I am so grateful to know the Lord and have the peace during this time of intense 'human pain' that we have reason to celebrate for you and that one day we will hold one another again in heaven.
I love you mommy,
Your only girl,
Tina Irene Demos Byrd

Dear Demos Family,
You are a blessed family to have had such a wonderful wife, mother,friend, etc. Connie was such a special lady who always had an encouraging word and compliment. I feel truely blessed to have met Connie through the Tupperware rallies. She was such a motivational and inspirational person. She would tell us to get up out of bed and fix ourselves up and sell some Tupperware, if I can do it, you can do it. She was truely a beautiful lady inside and out. Most people dream of angels, it is my understanding that Ted held one in his arms.

Demos Family, I was a member of the "cupids" group. I could hardly wait to tell her I had sales,no matter the amount she was happy. She always had wonderful ideas to share w/ us all. She always made a point to show her appreciation to tops in sales,& encourage me. I pray my business will flourish as hers did. She loved her family it showed many times. I'll miss her. She was truly the Tupperware lady.

Dear Ted and Family, I deeply grieve with you all. Connie had me sing a special song when Don and Shirley were still in Tupperware for a manger meeting. I still have the song. She wanted it just for that special occasion. I'm teaching at Galveston Elementary school and could not get away. My sadness at the passing of a great lady. I can see that smile as I type. Yours truly, Melody Clark, former Tupperware manager.

As anyone who knew this special woman, she will be greatly missed. Memories are filled with sparkly eyes, a warm smile, always thoughtful and inspirational. She was a very special prayer sister who was always strong and sharing of thoughts and time. I have been blessed with many special memories of a very special lady and thank our Father for having been enriched by knowing her. And as my dear friend was fond of saying I am grateful.

Dearest Aunt Connie,
You have been a household name for all of my 53 years, and I can't believe that you are gone. God rewarded you for all of your good deeds by a quick and sudden passing, much to the pain of your friends and family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My name is Mary Foist and I knew Connie through the Tupperware parties. I had many back in the 70's.
The one story that came to my mind about Connie was really about her husband. I was going to get my first drivers licence and he was to test my driving. I had told Connie about this previously. When we got into the car, he said Connie told me "I better pass you or else"...Now I think I really did pass the test but he was so nice to me and made me feel so at ease and I did pass.
She was a nice and very funny lady. I have very fond memories of her.
My condolences to all the family.

I knew Connie through her affiliation with Tupperware. In the early 80's I was nervous about hosting a party, and Connie gave me confidence, and I went on to have what she said at that time was one of her biggest parties. She was a lovely woman, inside and out. Please accept my sincere condolences on losing this precious lady. The world will be a colder place without her.

Connie always had a way of making me feel as if I were a most important cog in our wheel. She never failed to tell me on each encounter how beautiful I looked and how nice it was to see me. But in fact Connie was the one who ALWAYS looked so beautiful. And our rallies were always glistening and full of encouragement to sell, sell, sell with her smiling face and inspirational words. Being one of the newest and youngest memebers at my time she took me under her wing even then. I even had to ask her once...."Connie, how do you remember all of that GOOD STUFF"? I of course can't remember her reply, but I know it in itself was inspirational. I truly believe in angels and I just know you have outstandingly beautiful, glistening wings~I will miss you! Your young friend Melayna

I was a part of Tupperware with Connie. She always had some wonderful words to brighten my day. She was such a supportive and optimistic person, her words will always be in my heart! I am truly sorry for your loss but am sure Connie is looking out for all of us! Thank you for sharing her with me!

Dear Family,
I was shocked to hear of Connie's passing. I have not seen her in several months, almost a year. I met Connie through Tupperware and have shared many special moments of joy and laughter with her. She was an outstanding woman with a genuine love for people and their "special gifts." She always saw something wonderful in all she met. My heart aches for all of you at this time. I hope you all realize that she is now with her Lord and I am sure she is making him smile as I write. How comforting to know she is watching over us all at one time now and loving every moment of it.
With the deepest and most sincere sympathy for you all at this time of sorrow.
In God we trust and love.
