Connie was born on June 1, 1965, in Hamilton, New York, and was the daughter of the late Robert and Janith (Snow) Burch. A proud graduate of Brookfield Central School, Class of 1983, Connie loved Brookfield deeply and was affectionately known to her family as "Miss Brookfield."

Connie dedicated her career to caring for others, working as a social worker in various employment opportunities, and for Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, California.

Connie was a devoted member of the First Baptist Church of Brookfield, where she was known for her commitment to organizing, her giving heart, and her sacrificial service. She was always willing to drop everything to help someone in need and was deeply detail-oriented in all she did. Connie especially loved children and crafts and was famous for always having a project ready for kids to enjoy. She loved her friends at church.

She had a big heart and made friends wherever she went. Connie spoke her mind, loved swimming, baking, socializing, and enjoyed watching Survivor. She loved the ocean, beaches, and her cats. A passionate basketball fan, she especially loved cheering for Syracuse University. Above all, Connie was committed to caring for her mother and those she loved.

Connie is survived by her brother, Bruce Burch, her sister, Joan Burch, her Aunt Hazel Burch, a special friend and neighbor Gloria Owens, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She will be remembered for her generosity, devotion to others, and the joy she brought into so many lives. She was loved by many and will be deeply missed.
