And she never left. She married Ted, her life partner, in 1955 and they quickly began to build a family legacy that started with 13 children and now spans to 80, including 27 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. Connie loved nurturing all things living from her family to her garden and loved unconditionally. She was always welcoming and had an amazing ability to provide what was needed in that moment in time. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a quick wit second to none. Connie enjoyed her early morning coffee in her chair by the window watching the birds and preparing for the day ahead.
