Connie had a daughter with Danny Hodges. Her name is Sadie. She is a beautiful, sweet, lovely girl and she loved her mother. She was raised by Danny Hodges’ sister Karen and her husband Kenny. They gave Sadie a great and loving life but Sadie stayed in touch with Connie and had a good relationship with her also.
I am praying for comfort for the family of Connie. She had such a sense of humor that I will never forget. Another angel in heaven now.
Charles and Norma, so sorry to hear of the passing of Connie. Please know you are my thoughts an prayers. I remember Connie as a beautiful young lady. Sending love and blessings your way. Shirley
Charles and Norma,
I wanted to let you all know how sorry I am. Connie was a kind and wonderful person who will be missed very much. When I learned that she named her daughter after her Great Grandmother Sadie, I was very touched. I remember visiting Sadie when she lived with Nonnie. She made jelly and would give me a jar to take home. Anyway, Connie reminded so much of Nonnie and Sadie because they were such gracious ladies. Much love to you during this difficult time.

I lost track of Connie on Facebook and just now checked back on her page to see if there was any word. I was so sad to see that she had lost her battle with cancer. We never met in person, but were connected by a love of the music of Leon Russell and Dr. John, cats, and similar opinions on many things. I looked forward to her Christmas cards. My condolences to her friends and family. Such a sweet person has been lost.
