Connie and my sister, Pat Donnelly McAfee, were roommates at North Texas. She was so sweet and pretty and Annette and I are still friends. Condolences to the family.
My wife, Carole King Roush, and I were saddened to hear of Connie’s death. She and Carole were childhood friends in Cedar Bayou. Connie’s father, Willie Hollaway, was my mother’s first cousin. I worked at his grocery store while in high school and college. Later, Connie and I would share an occasional e-mail. I called her Cousin Connie. God rest her soul and bless her family. Bob Roush
I was blessed to have Connie for a friend starting at Robert E. Lee H.S. and going forward. Connie was kind, smart, funny, and her faith always shined through her.
We stopped in Arkansas once to see her, and she told me about her hill where she lived. I could see how much she loved it! Rest In Peace dear friend.
Our thoughts are with all her family,
Calvin & Jerri Milner Copeland
I remember Connie being a dear close friend of my sister. Connie and her family lived down the street from our family. Prayers for her brothers and sisters at this time!
I was so sadden when I saw Connie’s obituary. I was Connie’s paraprofessional for several years. We became good friends in school and out. We retired at the same time but kept in touch and went on several sight seeing trips in the fall when leaves were turning. She called a couple of months ago and said she wasn’t feeling well but I never thought about it being that bad. I’ll always feel bad because I should have called her back and didn’t. When you have a memorial service, if it is in this area, I would like to know about it. Jacque Faubus.
