Deepest sympathy from Cherry County Hospital in Valentine. I spoke to Connie often over the years and she was always one person who I would have liked to met in person. I will miss her smiling voice.

Connie & I hung out a lot in the summertime when we were young. She was such a happy person, always smiling. Her laugh was the best! One day I rode my brother Kirt’s mini bike to pick her up at her house. We were riding back to my house (going down the hill by the TV tower) when she suddenly fell off! Once we figured out she was ok we laughed so hard we nearly cried. All my memories of Connie were nothing but fun. I’m very sad to see her go.
Much Love ♥

Sending condolences to the family. I never met Connie but spoke with her many times on the phone (I work at Regional Pathology Services in Omaha). I so enjoyed our conversations. She had a voice that just made me smile every time she said "this is Connie in North Platte". She will be truly missed.
