Connie was raised in a small town in Nebraska by parents who sang, loved to dance and bought records of all the Broadway musicals. The neighbor next door just happened to be the head of the Performing Arts Dept. of the local college so from an early age Connie was able to be in summer productions. Being the “bossy” oldest of the neighborhood she organized a summer garage production of the "Wizard of Oz" with all the neighbor kids involved. Connie was in church and school choirs and reached her goal of a lead in the annual high school musical her senior year.
After spending 32 years on the west coast, raising 3 children with her husband, Connie has semi-retired in another small town. She has spent her life as an LPN, Mortgage Loan Funder, Wife, Mother and now Grandmother. Connie was instrumental in bringing the monthly Blues Jam to Turner Hall and now hopes to assist in bringing more performing arts programs for all ages to the area through the River Rats.
Connie enjoys holding her grandchildren, gardening, crocheting, reuse/re-purpose projects and is gradually cleaning up the family farm.
