CONSTANCE RONEY Obituary
Constance also known as Connie accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Olive Branch Baptist Church in Dinwiddie, VA, where she served as a member of the Mass Choir, and with the Dinwiddie United Fellowship of Churches Mass Choir.
She graduated from Dinwiddie County Senior High School, Class of '77. After graduation, Connie worked with various companies and was recognized for leadership skills. She last served as a Supervisor at The HON Company until her health began to decline.
She was preceded in death by her father, Booker T, Roney; brothers, Alfred (Peter) Roney (Carolyn), Wayne E. Roney; and the father of her children and former husband, Dwight C. Ridley Sr.
She leaves to cherish her memories, her mother, Vernell D Jones Roney; her children, Jada Campbell (James), Kanika Pride (Norris) and Dwight Ridley Jr. (Shaveh); her sisters, Deborah Harris (Nathan) and VonShelia Roney (Willie), 13 grandchildren, Jaden, Jordan, Justin, Joslyn, Juliauna, Jurney and Jenah Campbell, Norris, Morgan and Gavin Pride, Elijah, Micah and Noah Ridley; a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, devoted cousins, friends and extended family to include a companion, Walter (Wayne) Holmes.
Connie loved life! She will be remembered for her infectious smile and they way she cherished her family. She looked forward to attending family functions and serving her church in the choir. She had an eye for fashion and enjoyed opportunities to dress to impress. She will be best known for her servant heart in the way that she cared for those close to her such as her former husband, Dwight; brother, Wayne; sister, VonShelia; and her mother. She was an amazing grandmother; always available to care for her grandchildren as if they were her own. Her children and grandchildren were the light of her life. Holidays won't be the same without her and those special sweet potato pies. She will be greatly missed.
