Connie was an active member of Prince Avenue Baptist Church where she enjoyed singing in the choir and studying with her community group. She enjoyed working in her flower gardens as long as her health permitted. Connie was an excellent artist who enjoyed painting, but above all she was a devoted “Gran” to her family.
