Connie was preceded in death by her parents, a sister Rebecca Fischer and a nephew Jeremiah Jackson. The family would also like to extend a special thank you to the most amazing staff at the Meyers Center in Springfield for their unbelievable care and compassion they provided for Connie and her family.

January 24, 2014 at 4:37 pmConnie was a very special person. I am lucky to have known her for the years I did as an art buyer and seller of her paintings.
We became close and spoke on the phone even after I had changed jobs. I will never forget how kind she always was to me and how much of herself she put into her beautiful works of art.
She will surely be missed.
