Stafford, astronaut from Oklahoma. She was an officer of the F.D.I.C. for ten years, and a top sales woman with IBM who received “Rookie of the Year” during her first year of employment. She also was an Executive Sales Manager at AT&T, UPS, and Texas Home Health.
Connie is survived by her loving father, John Washam; one daughter, Sherry Thomas; and one son, Edward Van Buskirk. She is also survived by two amazing twin grandsons, Campbell and Chris Thomas; and two cousins, Valerie Lee and Ann Bourgeois.
She is preceded in death by her mother, Imogene Bond; her grandmother, Lucille Washam; her grandfather, Hogan Washam; and her aunt, Helen Pizzitola.
