A longtime resident of Delaware, Connie was born in Wilmington on November 27, 1946. Connie made her career creating delicious meals which were available through her role as a deli manager. She had many regular customers that came daily to enjoy her treats. Her family enjoyed her cooking at many family gatherings especially her husband, Horace of 28 years. They met at a local grocery store and the rest is history. Connie and Horace enjoyed their time in their garden, around the house and traveling together. They found special joy being a constant presence in their grandsons lives who were Connie’s biggest fans throughout their growing years as regulars at her dinner table.

We always enjoyed getting together with Connie and Horace. She was a great cook and always had a smile and a good word. She enjoyed shopping, especially for bargains at Big Lots. I will miss her.
