Lee Plant in Seymour, St. John’s (Mercy) Hospital, and for over 30 years she was a supervisor for Hamilton Properties before retiring. In her spare time, she enjoyed going for motorcycle rides, camping, playing slot machines at casinos, and going to the horse races. She loved being with her family and friends and she always considered family reunions a very special occasion that she wouldn’t have missed for anything. Connie was a loving wife, mom, nan, sister, aunt, and a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate her life and will always cherish the many special times we had together.
