Connie Sue Barrera Davidovski, 77, of Idaho Falls, passed away July 8, 2023, at The Homestead Assisted Living in Rexburg, Idaho.

Connie was born February 7, 1946, in Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Wray Neil Berrett and Helen May Shuldberg Berrett. She was the eldest of six children, having two younger brothers and three younger sisters. Connie was raised in Roberts, Idaho, where she attended Roberts Grade School and graduated from Roberts High School in 1964. During her high school years, she clerked in the local grocery store and worked in the potato fields throughout fall harvest. She enjoyed reading classics, playing sports, and cheerleading. Some of her best memories were spent with her father, riding horses and herding cattle.

After high school, Connie attended Ricks College, graduating with an Associate Degree in Nursing. She then moved to Salt Lake City and attended the University of Utah where she graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor of Science and Health Education degree. While in college, she worked as a registered nurse at the LDS Hospital.

In the spring of 1969, Connie received an LDS mission call to serve in North Carolina and Virginia for two years which she said was a remarkable experience and an anchor in her life. When she returned home, she worked at Utah Valley Hospital in Provo and later in the Parkview and Riverview Hospitals in Idaho Falls.

In 1978, she married Steven Dennis Barrera. In 1984, they adopted a newborn baby girl, Susan "Suzie" Marie Barrera (Stokes). She adored Susan who brought her much happiness. Connie was divorced in 1986. On February 8, 1994, she married and cherished her loving husband Yevgeny "Gene" Davidovski who was constantly by her side.

A great portion of her life involved her work at District 7 Health Department (Eastern Idaho Public Health) where she was a coordinator for the Handicapped Children's Service Program, Tuberculosis Program, Refugee Program, and HIV Program. Connie continuously blessed and served many lives throughout her career and in her everyday associations.

Connie was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was firm and steadfast in her beliefs. She took great interest in genealogy and loved to learn about her ancestors. She was often found writing in her journal, organizing photos, and creating memory books for friends and family members. Connie expressed a deep charity and love for others. Between the many patients she cared for, and fellow nurses and doctors with whom she worked, Connie was a well-respected colleague and loyal friend. Connie's example of generosity and kindness left an imprint on countless hearts and will continue to grow as we remember her.

I shall never forget the day that Connie Sue Berrett came to the mission field or CASM- Central Atlantic States Mission. She was the prettiest missionary, I couldn't believe how Pretty she was. I asked her, " Sister Berrett, why are you here when you should be back home breaking hearts?" She told me, " The Lord gave her the opportunity to serve in the mission field and she was going to do it." I have kept in touch with Connie Sue, but I hadn't heard from her for a while. I have been trying to get in touch with her, but to no avail. I send Connie Sue a calendar every year and she would always call me and we would talk for an hour. I thought I would put her name in on the internet and see what pops up. I am so sad to see that she has gone home to the that God that gave her life. I will always hold a special place in my heart for her, and I will meet her again, some day, and I will hug her and tell her that I Love Connie Sue Berrett. Your Friend, Ron Jeppesen

It was my good fortune to grow up in Roberts, Idaho, with many from the Berrett Families. Though Connie was four years younger we had a fun time together as we traveled to Idaho Falls each week to take piano lessons from Pro. Clifford Clive. Carla Bee, Connie, and I all studied with Mr. Clive. Our parents would take turns driving us to I.F. on that long up and down ride that always made me sick!
We made up all kinds of games to play to entertain ourselves as we traveled and as we waited for each other to take our lessons.
Pro Clive was a good teacher but could be quite intimidating. Carla and I had been taking lessons longer so we tried to prepare Connie for her encounters but I think we ended up scaring her more than preparing her!
We had such fun times. This started our long friendship that has lasted through the years. Connie has always been very kind to me. I have admired her for her life-long dedication to nursing and to the gospel she taught by word and example. I offer my condolences to her family and pray they will be comforted.
