Connie Darlene Large

Born February 6, 1962 at 6:06 pm in Grundy, Virginia Died December 25, 2025 at 3:46 am in Knoxville, Tennessee Connie died on Christmas morning – symbolically passing the Christ Jesus born in earth body as she became reborn to a heavenly body. She turned her intelligent head of independent hair into a cosmetology license and loved cutting and styling for all customers. She was an efficient and much appreciated Human Resources Office Manager for Volunteer Lawn, RiteWay, and the family business: The Lost Savant. Connie loved true crime - the mysteries of the criminal mind, and visiting the historic locations of the strange and unusual. She brought a dramatic flair into every room she entered and the world will be a bit less shiny without her as she adds her spark to the heavenly reunion. Connie is preceded in death by her Mother: Louise Osborne Hay and her Father: Goebel Roger Hay. Connie is survived by her Son: James Brent; Stepdaughter: Kasie; Sister: Diana Louise; Brother: Roger Dean and several grandchildren. She loved her puppies and supporting animals of all species. In lieu of flowers, please donate to Young-Williams Animal Center (young-williams.org) or the animal charity of your choice. And she loved her family and friends - traveling, shopping, talking, playing games, just being together. She will be missed and remembered.
