curious mind. She laughed at herself easily, despite her great beauty and
many accomplishments. She loved to entertain and was widely known as a
charming, gracious hostess. Connie's generous, open spirit and her love

and reveled in the curiosities that life presented on a daily basis. She
passed on this sense of exploration and wonderment to her children and
the children of others during her five decades in education. Connie described

grandmother, pre-school educator, crazy collector, soul survivor, jazz
