Connie was born on October 24, 1944, in Belding, Michigan to Clayton and Maxine (Doty) Hall. She graduated from Belding High School in 1962 and went on to attend cosmetology school. Connie met the love of her life, Peter D. Sneathen, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. On January 28, 1967, the two tied the knot and went on to start a beautiful and loving family in Dorr, Michigan.
Connie worked for many years as a hair stylist and retired in 2016 from ABC Auto Auction in Wayland working as a title turner. In her spare time, she enjoyed spending time with her family, family reunions, camping, fishing, being in the water and outdoors, playing card games, knitting, styling hair, bird watching, reading the Bible, and watching tennis, Kansas City Chiefs football, and comedy shows. She loved the music of Josh Groban, Barry Manilow, Michael Bolton, and Michael Buble. She was a fantastic cook and baker. Her family will always remember her warm tapioca pudding, red velvet cake, frozen strawberry jam, and her legendary frosted Christmas sugar cookies.
She approached life with an open heart and an open mind. Those remarkable qualities fueled her wonderful sense of humor, and her home was always filled with laughter, joy, and the warmth of her presence. She was welcoming, accepting, and inviting of all who were fortunate to know her. She could make people feel loved anywhere she went and was able to make friends easily. She was generous with her time and wanted others to feel loved and special--a quality that she passed on to her family.
She was a longtime member of the Community of Christ Church and was a devoted servant of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
She was preceded in death by her adoring husband, Peter D. Sneathen, in 2017; parents Clayton and Maxine Hall; and brothers Terry Hall and Jim Hall.
She is survived by her children Tanya (Dantáe) Barden and Pete (April) Sneathen; grandchildren Carter Sneathen, Parker Sneathen, Kayla Wustman, Justin (Bayleigh) Wustman; and great-grandchild, Payton Wustman.
