Connie was born September 15, 1950 in Ottumwa, Iowa, to Robert and Audrey More McMullin of Agency, Iowa.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and three brothers, Jack, Richard and Jim.
A true daughter of the plains, Connie loved nothing more than being outdoors, watching the seasons progress from her home on the hill, and holding close those whom she loved dearly, most notably Max and Dana.
Her body has been cremated.
