Constance Elizabeth Warrick

Constance Elizabeth Warrick passed away peacefully on December 28, 2020 after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. She was born in Baton Rouge, LA on April 30, 1946 to Elaine and Melvin Hudgins who preceded her in death. She loved and missed her parents every day after their passing. She is also preceded in death by her husband, Michael Warrick, sister, Sandra Hudgins, and sister-in-law, Gloria Hudgins. She is survived by her daughter, Melanie Warrick, and her brothers and sisters-in-law: Donald Hudgins, Toni Hudgins, James Hudgins, Patricia Hudgins, Melvin Hudgins and Deborah Null. She always had great love for her family.

She majored in accounting at the University of Texas where she met her husband Michael. They were married August 31, 1968 and lived in Houston for almost all of their 43 years together. Connie worked as an accountant, a teacher in various schools including Duchesne Academy, and she volunteered regularly with groups like St Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, BCAM, Junior League and the American Heart Association. She was an artist who created quilts, cakes, cookies, pies, clothing, and many other crafting items throughout her life. She was most proud of her role as a mom, and she was a world class caregiver to her mother, husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law, as well as many friends who dealt with difficulties in their lives.

She loved life, was a kid at heart, and always brought the fun, joy and magic to any experience. She was driven by kindness and talked about how important it was to always be kind. She gave graciously and abundantly to everyone she met. She had a great passion for service to others, and a true love of God. She was many things to many people - wife, mother, caregiver - but the one thing that remained constant was her unconditional love which shone through in how she existed in and impacted the world.

She was a bright light and is missed by all who knew her. Everyone who came into contact with her was drawn to her spirit.

Her family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her memory to Alzheimer’s research, the American Heart Association and/or a local food pantry. Another way to honor her is to plant a tree somewhere in her name, and to be as present as you can in the moment. She squeezed as much out of life as she could find, and she would want the same for you.
