Connie worked as an English teacher for Cleburne ISD and later a bus driver for Joshua ISD. She has been described as a woman who embraced life with a spicy spirit and giving heart, dancing throughout it all. She enjoyed the outdoors, especially camping, spear fishing on the coast or taking motorcycle rides. She was known for her home being open to everyone and quickly made friends into family. She was a talented lady, who could sew anything. Connie was an artist who painted and sketched both. She was an avid reader and that love of books led her to write her own poetry and short stories. Connie was an animal lover, and that love was evident in how she cared for her pets. She taught her children and grandchildren the importance of family. She passed down her love of cooking for others to them as well. Connie will be missed greatly.
