Connie was born March 3, 1929 in Germantown, PA. She graduated Springside School where she was active in many sports. Connie graduated from Lake Erie College where she excelled in Lacrosse and her favorite Field Hockey. She was inducted into the LEC Athletic Hall of Fame. Many favorite summers were spent in Oswegatchie, CT, where her parents later resided, surrounded by extended family and friends. This is where she developed her love of sailing. In 1951, her senior year at LEC, she met her husband Jack on a blind date arranged by their best friends. They made Columbus their home and raised 4 children. Many cherished memories and friendships grew from their time living in Liv-Moor Heights. She and Jack also were members of the Swiss Club and the Columbus Maennerchor. Connie was an active member of St. Alban's Episcopal Church for over 60 years. She was a member of the Pastoral Care Committee, Assistant to the Parish Administrator, and Financial Secretary. Connie loved sailing, lighthouses, building doll houses, gardening, and traveling. Surviving many health challenges over the years, Connie embraced life and family and often said her key to longevity is to "keep your faith and sense of humor." She is greatly missed. A memorial service will be held at St. Alban's Episcopal Church in Bexley at a later date. She will be interned in the Memorial Garden there where her husband Jack is.
