She never let the world weigh her down, always choosing optimism and seeing the best in those around her. She was a devoted member of Church on the Move before her move to Albuquerque. She had a deep love for music and found great joy in singing and dancing with her family. Always one to dress to impress, Connie carried herself with grace and made sure she always looked her best.
