I met Connie at International Business College in 1966-67. She would pick me up in Aboite area for quite a few trips until other arrangements. What a friend she was. What a fun personality. Time flew when you were with Connie. God has a very special Angel now. May she rest in peace, now. Say "Hi" to my Mom and Dad, Phyllis and Tom. So sorry for your great loss Michelle, Scott, Roger, her siblings and her Dad Gerald Goodrich.

My Dear Cousin Connie, your passing has created an emptiness in my life. We have shared many wonderful times together as we grew up and throughout our adult life. The travels we were able to do together was so much fun. The times shared with our families were so much fun as you fun and laughter to everyone. I'm so grateful for this last summer when we were able to spend together looking up our ancestors in the various cemeteries and just talking about life. Please say hello to my Mom & Dad. The Heavens are blessed to have your joyful heart. Until we meet again. Love you Connie.

Dear Connie, I have many fond memories of staying with you at the farm, teaching me macrame and playing in the barns and with the farm animals, it was always an adventure and you were the sweetest woman. Thanks for adding some magic to my childhood! And being a dear family friend. Love you always! Jacquie Donnelly Paine

Connie will be missed. I really enjoyed working with her at the Assessors Office. She loved life and was quite the charicator. She was one to brighten up the room. Thoughts and prayers are with all.

Connie was a great neighbor of ours for the past 13 years.

Due to confessing her sins, and believing Jesus washed them away through His death & resurrection, we are assured she's now with the saints (believers who preceded her in an earthly death) in Heaven, and that all believers will join her for eternity.
