Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Connie has called Florida home for a while now and has lived here at the Atrium for a little over a year now and her presence is unmistakable. She has a charismatic and no-nonsense attitude about what is dear to her. Having been a teacher, she commands attention everywhere she goes. Her love of teaching led her to apply to teach abroad, and it was in Germany that she met and fell in love with her husband, Vernon. Together, they share a daughter and two grandkids that make them so proud. Her husband was in the Army and served for twenty-three years. She is a military wife through and through. She lives by the belief to ” do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. Faith, family, and country are essential to her. She loved gardening and writing cards to people on their birthday and anniversaries and she does so even here! We are blessed to have her in our community.
