Connie's passion was her children, grandchildren and dedicated service to the LDS church in which she served in several callings over the years. Before marriage, she worked in a civil service capacity in Kearns during World War II. She had a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and served three missions with her husband. The first was their building mission to Australia where chapels were built in 1963-1965. She called this mission the highlight of her life.
