I had the pleasure of meeting, getting to know, and working with Connie for a number of years at The Gazette Newspaper.
My heart goes out to her family and friends.
She was a great help to me when I was pursuing a cosmetology degree.
Thanks Connie for your advice. You will always have a place in my heart and will never be forgotten...

So sad to hear of Connie's passing. I haven't seen her since Grade School and Junior High School in Colorado Springs. We ran around together on the westside as close friends. I wish I would've met up with her in later years. I hope she had a great life and passed peacefully. She will sadly be missed. My deepest sympathy to the family. [email protected]
