A compassionate soul, Connie was a beacon of supportive love and unwavering generosity in the lives of those fortunate enough to know her.

She is survived by her loving husband, Breckey Eagle; children, Sherrie Renee Sasser (Greg), Breckey Carl Eagle, Jr. (Michelle), and Matilda House (Kevin); grandchildren, Seth Eagle, Topanga Ralph, Kelsey House Fox (Dylan), Kevin Ryan House (Lakyn), Samuel Braxton House, Cody Eagle (Maddie), Cassidy Eagle (Isaiah), Joshua Sasser (Kara), and Emileigh Sasser (Coleman); great-grandchildren, Greyson Sturgill, Owen Fox, Raelynn Tallent, and Colter Joshua Sasser; and sisters, Mary Farris, Ada Wasierski, and Elizabeth Blanton.
