Connie then attended UW-La Crosse, where she double-majored in microbiology and biology, graduating in 1999. After completing her college education, she worked for Cargill in Eddyville, Iowa, and then transferred to Sidney, Ohio.

Connie had a fierce spirit and a loving heart that will be dearly missed by all.
