Her life long interests in the activities of her church were exemplified with her strong spiritual, moral, and financial support both in her home church in San Francisco and in her church in the Philippines. She and Boni are active members of Geneva United Methodist Church. Connie was strong in her faith in God and imbued her children the love of God and fellow beings through daily family devotions, bible study, and attendance in Sunday school.
