Constance Lea Bashinski

She was an only child born in Houston on August 15, 1948, to Leo and Connie Bradshaw, and was a lifelong Houstonian. She was married to Edmond Bashinski in a wonderful ceremony at St. Francis of Assisi in Houston on August 20, 1966 and the two remained inseparably married for 52 years.

Connie is survived by her husband Edmond, her daughters Deanna and Linda, her son Edmond, and her five grandchildren: Katie Blackwell, Christopher Blackwell, Jessica Blackwell, Jake Blackwell, and Henry Stavinoha.

Connie was a kind and caring soul who loved her family dearly, and had a passion for sewing, crochet, creating wirework jewelry, and fishing. She lived her life to the fullest, visiting a number of places nationwide and always wore a smile. She encouraged many people to do the right thing to great success and freely gave others the wisdom to accomplish their goals.

Connie graduated from Incarnate Word Academy in downtown Houston in 1965, and attended college vicariously through her children. In her work career she held many positions, including for the Harris County Real Estate Property division, the Northeast News, Goodwill, and Grace Heart Antiques, and was also an elected member of the Harris County Water Control district #74.
