Connie loved being with her family. The light of her life was when her granddaughter Jenna was born February 4, 2008, and she enjoyed spending her time with her. She loved crocheting, especially for her family, and she enjoyed her trips to Hawaii and being out on the farm. She loved anything to do with Christmas and collecting Nativity themes. She was an avid Iowa Hawkeye fan and more recently enjoyed following NASCAR. Connie was a very content person and fought a courageous battle with her cancer.
