Connie lived the first half of her life in the Texas and Oklahoma panhandle areas until 1967. Connie graduated from Darrouzett, Texas, High School in 1939. Connie learned to cook feeding farm hands in the area. When she cooked, there was always an abundance of good, filling country food ending with some of the best pies ever. The family owned and operated a grocery store in Darrouzett for several years. She belonged to the United Methodist Church and Eastern Star and was a Worthy Matron. The last half of her life was spent on cattle farms in McDonald County, Missouri, and near Siloam Springs, Arkansas.
