Preceded in death by parents, Howard and Mary Jane Ponzer; brother, William Ponzer; husband, Francis Farquhar. Connie graduated from Bucknell University and the University of Pennsylvania. She taught 6th grade science in Lower Merion School District in Pennsylvania. She was an avid gardener of vegetables and flowers, especially pansies in the spring.

Moving to Minnesota, she volunteered with children at the Science Museum of Minn. and enjoyed exploring central and northern Minnesota in her red convertible. Occasionally she traveled south, exploring Civil War history en route to Summerville, SC (her childhood home) and Florida. Throughout her stay at Westwood/The Villa, Connie appreciated the care and kindness of friends and staff. She loved her family deeply and enjoyed the visits, music, and joy they shared. Survived by son William (Mary) Farquhar and granddaughters Lauren and Katherine. Funeral service Saturday, March 4, 11:00 a.m., at David Lee Funeral Home, 1220 E. Wayzata Blvd., Wayzata.

Hello Bill and family,

My sincere sympathy to you on the passing of your Mother. Connie enjoyed my numerous travel stories and the photos I placed on her ceiling over her bed so she could enjoy them! I worked at Westwood for 2 years, I am the white haired nurse that worked on PM shift.
She was a dear soul.
warm regards, Mary Reiland

I had Mrs. Farquhar as my 6th grade science teacher at the Merion Elementary School in the 70's. I remember her as a very good teacher and a kind lady. It's interesting to read about her life outside of the classroom. Prayers for peace and comfort to her family. Thank you Mrs. Farquhar.
