Connie graduated from Bloomington High School in Bloomington, MN and graduated in 1964. After graduating high school, she attended Winona State University. She and Randy met in 1963, and they married in 1971. She and Randy lived in six different places in Minnesota, then spent 14 years in Destrehan, Louisiana, before moving to Omaha to be near near son Chris and his family.
Over the course of her life, Connie worked as a receptionist and secretary for a variety of businesses, ending her career as the front desk receptionist for an optometrist in Destrehan, Louisiana.
Connie had a lifelong love of animals, especially dogs. Her favorite place in the world was the beach in Florida, where she and Randy vacationed several times until it became too difficult for her to travel.
Connie was exceptionally generous and was always getting gifts for her loved ones when she found things that she thought were neat. She loved brightening her family’s day by giving even small gifts. Every year she made sure her grandchildren, who she loved very deeply, received a Christmas ornament. She loved the opportunity to spend time with her grandchildren.
A Celebration of Life is scheduled for Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 11:00 am, at Braman Mortuary (Millard Chapel.)
She will be interred at Omaha National Cemetery, Omaha, NE.
