Connie Haffner Obituary
Constance Marie Robertson-Haffner, affectionately known as Connie to her loved ones, passed away on March 7, 2024, in Roggen, Colorado, after a brief battle with cancer. Born on October 12, 1945, in Denver, Colorado, to Ivan Marion Robertson and Anna Magdalene Kersen, Connie's life was a testament to her loving, kind, and faith-filled spirit.
Connie was a proud member of the first graduating class of Weld Central High School in 1964. Her deep devotion to her Catholic faith was a guiding light throughout her life, and she cherished her relationship with God and her church community.
Connie loved to keep herself busy with crocheting and lovingly crafted baby blankets for each of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was an avid sewer and crafter, always on the lookout for a new project to gift her grandkids. Her extensive owl collection was a source of joy as she loved being gifted or finding a new owl to add to the masses.
Connie's love for her family was boundless. She was a constant presence in the lives of her children: Richard Robertson (Heidi), Jerry Haffner, Johanna Davidson, and Brandon Haffner. Her grandchildren, Ivannie (Bryson) Whistance, Dalton (Jessica) Robertson, Kolton (Brittney Blair), Preston Davidson, Andrew Davidson, Erika Davidson, and Braxton Haffner, knew they could always count on her cheering them on from the stands, never missing a game or match. The joy of her life extended to her great-grandchildren, Bodan Whistance, Reagan Robertson, Aaron Davidson, Manning Davidson, and Jaxton Haffner, who brought her immeasurable happiness.
Connie's brother, Richard Robertson (Marsha Swanhorst), and her "sis," Lynette Robertson Barlow (daughter Lynelle Dennis), shared a special bond with her, filled with cherished memories. She also had many fond memories with her only niece, Jill (Manny) Gallegos.
Connie's children fondly remember her as loving, caring, stubborn, an 'ornery Saint', and say that she always looked for the best in people. She was a strong woman who'd withstood many storms and losses in her life and continued to see the presence of the Lord in her life. She loved being a mom and grandma and was happy to leave that as her legacy.
Connie found comfort and nostalgia in her favorite TV programs, such as true crime shows, MASH, and Gunsmoke, which fondly reminded her of her father. Connie's legacy is one of unwavering love, generosity, and faith. She touched the lives of many with her kindness and her steadfast commitment to her family and faith.
Connie passed away in the house that she grew up in, and she is now with her mother in Heaven, which is what she's waited so long for. We grieve our beloved Connie, but know she is now at peace and will remain present in our lives.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Ivan and Anna Robertson, her ex husband Jim Haffner, and her partner and love of her life Don Giadone. She is survived by all of her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, her brother, her 'sis', and her niece.
Services will be held at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Roggen on Friday, March 15th, 2024. The rosary will begin at 1:00 PM, the service will be at 1:30 PM, and reception will immediately follow at the American Legion Post 180 in Keenesburg.
