Constance V. Besuden, “Connie”, wife of the late George K. Besuden, daughter of Carl and Constance (nee Shebanek) Vollman, passed away on February 2, 2026. She leaves her loving family and a host of admirers and friends after 105 years of a well-lived life. Children: Robert (Martha) Besuden, Pamela (Joseph) Meggyesy, Constance (Kerry) Miles.

She was a graduate of John Adams High School in Cleveland, Ohio, and Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, where she met the love of her life, George Besuden. She was his gal Friday in his sales business dealings. Connie was a woman who was accomplished in so many ways: she was a great cook, sewed beautifully, was a talented clarinet player, taught modern dance and physical education. She loved sports and was a great bowler, swimmer, water skier, snow skier, boater, tennis player, and golfer into her 90s, even getting a hole in one once. She was a cub scout leader for her son and a girl scout leader for her daughters. She was a choir member for more than 60 years at Armstrong Chapel. She was everybody’s Aunt Connie at her summer home on Manitoulin Island, a talented barber, carpenter, and fisherman in her Eagles Nest community.

She wanted special thanks to be given to her niece Debbie Geehring and honorary niece Kathy Kennedy for their loving support.
