I am so sorry to hear about Connie. She was a super lady. My Dad, myself, and my son raced with Connie and Dave at Tri-state Raceway. When my Dad fell and broke his ankle at the track, Connie was right there to help...she and Dave watched my son while I went to the hospital with Dad. When Dave got sick, I stopped by the house to visit and spend time with them...after he passed, I still saw her from time to time...sadly not often enough. May she rest in peace...we'll meet again at the track in the sky.

You loved your family and friends so hard, Connie! You will be greatly missed by so many. My memories of our early childhood will keep me smiling for years to come! Roller skating down your driveway, playing Hospital, camping out, watching you do cartwheels and so much more... You earning your racing flag!!

I am so sad for Connie's family and friends. She was such a character, always seeing the positive, and finding joy in life. She so loved her kids and grandkids. I will miss her dearly. I cut her hair off and on for years, I just trimmed her a couple weeks ago with her patch off. That poor girl had been thru alot. Now she's sitting in the handstand watching Dave go around the track.
