George and Connie had been married 46 years. Through those years it was rare to see one without the other. They impacted the lives of those around them through their honesty, kindness, and support.
Where George was quiet, Connie was talkative. Where George would offer silent support, Connie would give heartfelt advice. Each gave the other something needed... they balanced each other. They loved their daughter. Their love for their family and friends will be with us always.
“When you go, I wanna go too.... Like Johnny and June”
