I have so many memories of Connie from the time I was a youngster seeing her when she was visiting her mother Edna Mae at the furniture store, and when she and Jim purchased the Smith’s Greenhouse when they moved to Willard. She was a very cool lady who was very family centered. God Bless Connie and her great family. It was a pleasure to know her and family.
