Constance C. OACE

One of the most amazing people I ever met. She took me under her wing when I was a teen reporter at the old West Side Voice. Connie was so thoughtful - when I went to St. Thomas for college she scouted out the local pizza place and give me gift certificates as a high school graduation present. Travis

I am so sorry! Connie and I became friends when she served on the West Side Voice Board, and I was always happy when our paths crossed after that. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Chris;
This is Mike banjo and harmonica guy at Merlin's and sending my condolences to you and yours. I won't forget the evening you were there with your dear Mother and how radiant and classy a lady she was. You are all in my prayers.
With Kindest Regards,
Mike Jensen

Chris and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers to get you through this tough time.

All our love,
The Wolfs - Bette, Alan, Henry, George & Ellie

Connie always made me smile - she lived such a full life and was a real joy in my life. I will miss her terribly but am so grateful for the time she shared with me.

My family and I had the great fortune of getting to know Connie over the past year - after being hooked up through the volunteer drivers program at Unity. It amazes me the number of subjects we could cover in those short 15 minute rides to and from church. She was a ball of energy and curiosity - full of probing questions, keen observations, great stories, and no-holds-barred opinions - what a delight! I always felt so energized and alive after spending just those few minutes together. I...

I had the extreme pleasure of working with Connie at the Minnesota Museum of American Art. What a pistol! She was a wonderful tour guide and an inspiration to everyone at the museum. Her insights from practicing art adding so much to tours at the museum. I'll always remember her so fondly.

Deepest Sympathy to you all. A smile will always come to my face when I think of Connie at Thanksgiving a couple years ago when she was too busy having a glass of wine and talking with family to make the gravy, she had her priorities right! God Bless

Vicki and Chris,

I am sorry for your loss. Your mom had a wonderful spirit. She told amazing stories and delighted in the achievements of her children and her grandchildren. I am grateful I had the opportunity to spend time with her.
