Connie had a passion for wood crafting, crocheting, and counted cross stitch.  Her work was admired by many, and she loved giving her pieces to family and friends.  She spent countless hours creating ornaments to give to people at Christmas.  She loved the holiday season and giving handmade gifts to her family and friends.
