Connie graduated from Emanuel County Institute in 1980.  She worked as a paraprofessional with the Emanuel County School system and retired after 25 years.  Connie proudly held the nickname, “paraboss”, to her colleagues and students.  She was a volunteer firefighter for the Canoochee Fire Department before retiring after 20 years of service.

Connie and Ronnie operated their farm together and she spent summers canning pickles and jelly.  She was a devoted mother to her two sons, an active member of her church, Canoochee Baptist Church, and a loving “Goggie” to her six grandchildren.
