Connie and Walt operated Adam’s Ale Resort for eighteen years. Connie was a dedicated caregiver who, up until her death, worked for the Lake of the Ozark Developmental Center and was known for offering a helping hand to all those in need. Connie lived an active and vibrant life whose dedication to service was an inspiration to all who knew her.
She was preceded in death by her mother, Lillian Neil; her husband Walt Mattes and a son, Douglas N. Mattes.
Connie is survived by her children, Michael W. Mattes, Linda Mattes Golding, Sandra A. Wilhelm, Catherine M. Mattes, Matthew J. Mattes, and Barbara A. Kupfert. Connie will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her children and their spouses, her twenty-two grandchildren, her thirteen great-grandchildren, and many dear friends.
