In 1987 Connie became a military wife and relocated to San Diego, CA when she married Shawn (USN). Family members are the forgotten Veterans of Military Service. Her strong personality, dedication and love of family made her the glue that held their home together while Shawn was frequently at sea.

Connie was a proud Baseball Mom, Band Mom, and 4-H Mom (CrAzY for Life).

She especially LOVED Christmas and making it a magical time for all.
