Connie McDowell Collum, 61, passed away, February 19, 2021 in Stockbridge, GA. She was born August 13, 1959 in Sinaloa, Mexico to Raymond and Emilia McDowell. Connie and her family relocated to Blythe California when she was just a baby, and remained there until after graduating from Palo Verde High School in 1977.

Connie loved her family, had a heart of gold, was very resourceful, and giving. She was also very forthcoming, truthful, and had a feisty side. She could and would tell you like it was while giving you the coat off her back, and anything else that would make your life easier.
