Vickey Lynn Connolly, affectionately known as "Cookie" to friends and family, and lovingly called "Nannie" by her grandchildren, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday, October 20, 2025, at the age of 73. Her life, a testament to love and devotion, began on May 25, 1952.
Cookie shared a deep and enduring partnership with her devoted husband, Kevin Connolly, whom she married on February 3, 1973. Their nearly 53 years together formed the bedrock of their loving family.
She was the cherished mother of Bridget, Molly, and John. Her greatest joy, however, was her role as Nannie to her six adoring grandchildren: Patrick, Nia, Tyler, Braden, Cody, and Kevin. She poured her warmth, laughter, and unwavering support into their lives, creating a legacy of love they will carry forward.
Cookie is survived by her husband Kevin, her children, and her grandchildren. She also leaves behind her sister, Michele, and her brother, Frank Jr., who will deeply mourn her passing.
Her kindness, warmth, and vibrant spirit will be profoundly missed by her entire family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
The family will announce details regarding memorial services at a later date.
