Connie Gifford Obituary
Connie Jo Gifford, 60, of Ingleside, Texas, passed away peacefully on July 12, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, love, and cherished memories.
Born in Denver, Colorado, on November 5, 1964, to John and JoAnn Cunningham, Connie was a proud graduate of Brighton High School. She later moved to Ingleside, where she became a beloved fixture in the community, owning and operating The Buckhorn Saloon for over 19 years. Her infectious laughter and love for life created a warm, welcoming space for all who entered.
Connie had a fierce love for her family, her friends, and her Denver Broncos. No conversation at The Buckhorn was complete without her proudly sharing the latest successes of her team, often with a wink and a smile. Her vibrant personality and genuine care for others will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, John and JoAnn Cunningham, and her brother, Danny Cunningham.
Connie leaves behind her children: Brittany Cunningham, Tanner Gifford, and Kevin Gifford, along with her adored grandchildren: Landan Cunningham, Wyatt Gifford, Dominick Gifford, and Jesse Gifford.
A Memorial Service will be held at 2:00 PM on Friday, July 25, 2025, at Charlie Marshall Funeral Home in Aransas Pass, with Rev. James Hudson officiating. A Celebration of Life will follow immediately at The Buckhorn Saloon in Ingleside, where family and friends will gather to share stories and celebrate the remarkable woman she was.
