She graduated from Villa Duchesne High School in Frontenac, Missouri and later attended the University of Wisconsin- Platteville. Connie touched many lives with her relentlessly positive spirit, her kind heart, and her friendly demeanor. She always put her family first, and would do anything to help others. She was a good friend, a kind neighbor, and a loyal and avid fan of the Badgers, Packers, Brewers and Bucks. She never missed a family event, usually arriving early and with a big smile.
