Connie Bartmess Obituary

Connie Sue Bartmess

Connie's soul passed to God on a beautiful day June 8, 2025. She knew she had been blessed her entire life, beginning with being born to her wonderful parents, Marvin and Irma, and ending with her loving husband, D. Eugene (Gene) Bartmess Jr. and her faithful dogs at her side.

Connie enjoyed being retired as she could now pursue being active in various groups, Soldiers Angels, Project Linus, etc. She cherished her memories of family and friends whether they were in her life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime. She was passionate about helping people less fortunate and animals that had been abused.

She was born August 19, 1948 in Manning, Iowa to Marvin Gail Groat and Irma Mae Knudson.

Survived by her husband Gene Bartmess.

Cremation has taken place. She is buried at Santa Fe National Cemetery and will accompany her husband, a Vietnam veteran, when he passes. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to your local church or local animal shelter.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
