She was a long time member of St. John's UMC. I knew her growing up in West Orange.

My mother and father lived next door to Connie for many years . She was always such a great neighbor to both of them and after my father passed away she was a loving and caring friend to my mother until my mother , Evelyn Nobles , moved to The Woodlands to be close to two of her children . She even was a wonderful host to Mother and also to me several times as we visited Orange and stayed at her home . She was a very caring Christian woman , active in her church . She will be missed by so many people .
