Connie enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She was an avid bowler and belonged to a league for many years. She went monthly, until recently, with the "breakfast bunch" out to eat. Jim and Connie enjoyed traveling to different states to visit family and friends. Her favorite pastime was spending time on her porch! Connie cherished all the relationships she made during her 35 year tenure at the Kopper Kettle in Bremen. She talked of those memories throughout her life.
Family and friends may call from 11 - 2 Wednesday, January 20, 2021 at Thompson-Lengacher & Yoder Funeral Home, Nappanee, followed by Funeral Service at 2 pm. Rev. Chuck Krieg, Plymouth Wesleyan Church will officiate. Burial will be in Bremen Cemetery.
