Connie was born on March 18, 1952 in Coldwater, Ohio, where she raised her three children. In 2015 she and Tony relocated and retired to “The Farm” outside of Portland, IN, where her “Grandchildren Became Friends”. Connie will always be remembered for her great ability to talk to anyone, her beautiful smile and her sweet personality. She always bought the best gifts, as they were truly heartfelt and she was happiest spending time with her family including their annual vacations to Michigan.  Like her dad Melvin, she was a firebug, always the first to start the campfire and keep it going. Connie worked as a Real Estate Agent and started her own business, CS Cornerstone Realty. She showed true strength and grace as she battled breast cancer and was her family’s rock and hero.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 am Monday, August 27, 2018 at Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Coldwater. Burial will be in St. Elizabeth Cemetery, Coldwater. Friends and family may visit at the Hogenkamp Funeral Home in Coldwater from 1 to 5 pm Sunday and 9 to 10 am Monday. Memorials may be made in her memory to the Pink Ribbons Girls, 15 S.
