May 15, 1925-July 29, 2005
Ahhhmen! Boy, did we love her!
Luckily, before she died she managed to travel the world, teach the children (to open their world), love the animals and cherish her family and friends.
She often said she was the ``luckiest old biddy in the world."
As Frau reflected on her adventures through life, she would talk of her death, matter of factly and unafraid.
At one time she pictured herself falling off a cliff. As the years passed and the exotic trips became less frequent, she hoped to go in her sleep.
She got her wish! And for that, and for her, we are grateful.
A Celebration of Connie's Life will be held Thursday, August 4th, 11 a.m., at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.
