Connie touched so many lives through her gentle and most faithful heart. She was so helpful with guiding us with starting our Junior Legion of Mary Praesidium at St. Mary’s, Bellevue. I will miss her so much but I will always hold the memories of her beautiful smile and inspirational friendship in my heart. Prayers for comfort and strength to all of her family including all of her dear friends of the Mary Our Queen Legion of Mary Praesidium and our Omaha Legion of Mary Curia members.
As a long-time neighbor of Connie (& Joe), I was deeply saddened to learn of her passing. She was a remarkable lady and always found time to visit with me and my family. My deepest condolences to the family. May God Bless all of you.
Connie and Joe were dear friends of my husband, Patrick, and me for many years. We enjoyed going out to dinner together
