Connie was a homemaker and enjoyed various crafts including crocheting & decorative arts.  You would often find her enjoying bingo with her fellow residents at Atkins Nursing Home.  She was an excellent cook and found great joy in watching and studying birds, as well as traveling & camping with her late husband.  Gospel music and the traditional hymns of the church were a meaningful source of inspiration that encouraged her worship and faith.
