Connie spent many years as an executive secretary for the Vice President of Raytheon in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. When she wasn't working, she was volunteering in her community. Whether it was playing Easter Bunny for the kids, making party arrangements or always planning for the next holiday. Christmas was always her favorite holiday. She went all out on celebrating Christmas, from decorations to presents and enough food to feed an army. Entertaining was one of her many assets.
