Connie was born on October 29, 1951, in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, to Armin and Lucille Losleben. She grew up with her siblings on the family farm near Essig, Minnesota, where she attended a one-room schoolhouse until the sixth grade. She then continued her education at St. Mary's School in Sleepy Eye and graduated in 1969. Following her passion for creativity, Connie attended St. Cloud State College and earned her degree to become an Art Teacher. She began her teaching career sharing her love of art with students at Atwater schools. After the art program was cut, she moved to the Cities area to find work. Connie transitioned into the corporate world, initially taking on substitute teaching jobs before finding success in the Insurance Industry. She later found a career she loved as a Software Trainer, a role that allowed her to indulge her desire for travel. She spent many years traveling extensively throughout the United States and abroad, sharing her knowledge and sharp wit. When travel became difficult, her employer gracefully allowed her to work remotely, leading to her eventual early retirement. Connie had a profound love for life's simple pleasures. She was known for her exceptional enthusiasm for decorating her house for all the holidays, bringing joy and color to every season. Above all, Connie loved to laugh and cherished moments spent with her family and friends. Blessed be her memory.
