Connie Sue Witten

Connie Sue Witten, beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother passed away peacefully on November 14, 2024, at the age of 79. 

Preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd, and Florence (Swiler) Hines; her beloved husband, Tom; her sister, Sharon and her brothers, Carl, and Charles. Survived by loving sons Dennis and Delbert; daughters, Danta Dixon, and Rosalyn Vail; sisters Clarinda Larson (George) and Carolyn Hurst (Robert); grandchildren, Elise Witten, Faith Hockett, Cody Busby, and Sharaa Sweat; great-grandchildren, Anna, Jonathon, and Hope; and many nieces and nephews. 

 Her educational journey included graduation from Erie High School and studies at Ozark Bible College. Connie worked for the US Census Bureau as a Surveyor and also as an AL Williams Financial Investment Representative. 

 Connie found community and fellowship as a member of Thayer Christian Church where she enjoyed serving as a nursery helper, superintendent in charge of attendance and class materials while also being a kitchen committee member and the wife of an Elder. 

Her passions and interests included singing, sewing, cooking, and traveling. Her keen eye for antiques brought her great joy and personal fulfillment. Connie and Tom enjoyed getting together with friends and family to play cards and enjoy a meal. Because she enjoyed cooking and seeing the pleasure eating brought to others, if you came to her home during meal time you were going to eat something she had prepared in her kitchen. Connie was big hearted and oh so generous. She will be missed by many. 

 Visitation will be held from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 12, 2024, at Thayer Christian Church. A Memorial service will held at Thayer Christian Church on Friday, December 13, 2024, at 11:00 am.
