Connie's professional journey spanned over three decades as a dental hygienist, a role she embraced wholeheartedly. Her passion for her work was palpable, and her gentle touch and caring demeanor touched the lives of countless patients. Beyond her exceptional skills, it was Connie's vibrant and welcoming personality that made her a favorite among colleagues and patients alike.

Connie was known for her unwavering loyalty to her family and friends, always ready to offer a listening ear or a helping hand.

One of Connie's most remarkable traits was her willingness to open her home and hand to anyone in need. She impacted countless lives through her generosity, creating a safe haven for those seeking comfort and support. Her selflessness and compassion knew no bounds, leaving an indelible mark on all who were fortunate to know her.
