Conita Kay Markel Cramer

Conita, you have been my sister since I was 9 and have always been someone I admire and strive to be more like. Your life challenges me and your love for Christ and His Kingdom plan was always a priority. I will miss you so much! Until we meet again...save me some chocolate!

I had the honor of working with Conita @ Marsh Middle School, where she was an excellent educator and friend. She will be missed by all that new and loved her. God has a beautiful angel at his side.

Conita and I became friends during Lake Country Church days. She was an amazing woman. She had a way about her that made you think you were her best friend. Several of us "best friends" spent a week in Oregon a couple years ago playing, praying, laughing, crying, singing,sharing and on and on! It was a great experience. At that time she was in so much pain, but she wouldn't let down. I saw her a fews months ago and realized at that time it would probably be the last time I would see her. ...

Conita was dear lady who will be dearly missed. She was given a very short time to live a year ago and outlived that date without any cancer treatments.

She played the keyboard for worship services and many times would be singing her heart out at the same time - and she did this longer than she probably should have. She sang as if she were already standing in front of Jesus. In her heart she was already, and she knew that she soon would be in spirit and in reality. Each of us...

Conita, you are now home & rejoicing. You've been my sister in law since 1969. Once family, always family. I will miss you terribly. Keep the light on for those of us not too far behind you. I love you

I am so sorry for your loss. I was a classmate of Conita's in grade school as well as high school. I always admired her beauty and sweet disposition. I know God will comfort you and hold you close at this time.

Conita was my Boss and friend at JJE. We had great times with her at the helm. The original Energizer Bunny with an amazing heart for children, people, and Christ. She will be missed. Hope Heaven is ready for her entrance and all that she will have them doing.

For Michael and Michelle, I am saddened to learn of your mother's passing, but rejoice in her freedom from pain and her being with her Lord..she told me several times of her desire to go home..her only regret was leaving you and her grandsons. May you be comforted in knowing she loved you all so much.. With love, Sue Walker (your Dad's cousin), Richardson, TX

Conita and I were best friends during high school.
We both loved
playing piano and singing. When we went
off to college we met up for the last time at a BSU
Convention at SIU.
I finally got to talk to her last summer on the phone and it was like the 40 years had never happened, we connected so well. I am so happy her suffering is over and she is in the presence of her Lord and Savior. My memories of Conita are all good. She was a wonderful friend and I will...
