Publish in a newspaper
Connie was born on April 20, 1957, to Ira and Helen Harman of Sheldon, Mo. She was the youngest of three, with two older brothers, Jim and Tom (Mary Ann) Harman.
She grew up in Sheldon, Mo., and graduated from Sheldon High School. As an adult, she had several career changes, from EMT, to owning her own daycare, to homemaker and eventually settling on moving to Richmond, Mo., where she helped her two daughters with childcare for three grandchildren whom she loved with all her heart.
Connie is survived by her twin daughters, Shannon Braley and Sharron (Jacob) Smith and her grandchildren Auren Smith, Raigan Braley and Everlyn Smith.
Throughout her life she was blessed to be called Mom, "Momma Connie" and Grandma "Mam Ma" by stepchildren Jarrod, Amanda, Dennis and Bob, along with several friends of her daughters whom she welcomed into her heart and home, and all the grandchildren that came with them.
She is proceeded in death by her parents, Ira and Helen (Riddle) Harman and her cousins, Terri Chadd and Travis Denney, along with several Aunts, Uncles, friends and family.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. We ask all that knew and loved her to send their memories and stories of Connie's life to her twin daughters, so it can be a joyous and lighthearted celebration.In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your local animal shelter or charity of your choice in her honor.
