In her free time she enjoyed playing bingo and cribbage, and taking an occasional trip to the casino. She and her husband enjoyed spending 18 years wintering in Zephyr Hills, FL. Most importantly, Connie loved spending time with her family, especially her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
