Connie Semke

Connie Jo Semke
Connie Jo Semke delighted her parents, Delores Henderson Semke and Keith Semke with her
entry into this world on July 15, 1949 at Geneva, Nebraska. She joined two older brothers,
Denny and Terry, and later Mike was born.
After relocating to Jefferson with her family, Connie attended and graduated from Jefferson
High School.
Connie held various positions throughout her life including at American Athletics, Frigidaire,
and owning The Gold Carpet. She was honored to be treasurer of the local union.
Her spare time was spent with treasured family and friends. She loved golfing, socializing
after golfing, playing cards and in her prime, playing softball, and consuming adult beverages
or vice versa, whichever way you remember. In more recent times you would likely find
Connie on the golf course with brother Terry and nephew Spencer.
Connie cherished her family and was loyal to her core. She will always be remembered for
visiting her mother almost every day for many years in long-term care. Connie and Delores
were as close as mother and daughter as you could find.
Connie will also be remembered for her independence and for telling it like she saw it.
Connie left this earth on Wednesday, December 14, 2022. Left to cherish her memory are
brother Terry Semke, nephews Ted (Mindy and great nephew Spencer) Semke and Tom
(Makala) Semke, Dusty (Jenni) Farnsworth; nieces Lori Semke and Erin (Nick) Daniel, and
Sisters-in-law: Marg Semke and Peggy Semke as well as many great and great-great nieces and
nephews.
Preceding Connie in death were her parents, brothers Denny and Mike, sister-in-law Kathy
Semke, and nephew Carter Semke.
