Connie is survived by her loving siblings, Karen, Tim and Jim, and her nieces and nephews, Cheryl, Angela, Brad, Leah, Lyle and Sarah. The family wants to express its gratitude to the Huron Hospice who took care of Connie during her stay and for their support of the family.
Since moving to Goderich, Connie was dedicated to the wellbeing of the community and made meaningful connections with so many wonderful people that live in the area.

Condolence from Terry Puloski on November 28th, 2024 1:01 PM

Over the many years that I shared my life with Connie she brought me so much happiness and satisfaction in living my life with her in it.
She never hesitated in telling me what I was doing wrong but always ended by telling me the joy I brought into her life. I will miss you so much Connie.

Condolence from Toni Schaefer on November 28th, 2024 2:53 PM

The world has lost a true gem of a human being. To Connie ‘s family, I am truly sorry. As memories may make you sad, I also hope they can bring you joy. Connie was a giving, unassuming woman, who went about quietly being helpful to others. I am fortunate to have known her.

Condolence from Sandra Forster on November 28th, 2024 4:30 PM

I am so saddened to hear this news. Connie was such a cheerful presence at Meneset, in Goderich at the MacKay Centre, the Livery, concerts on the Square. I will miss seeing her smiling face.

Condolence from Rosalie Telfer on November 29th, 2024 12:30 AM

Connie lived beside us for many years during her time at Bluewater Beach. She became a friend to all of us Telfer’s and our friends and family!
During the summer months She would accompany us to different events that happened in and around Goderich as well as joining us for the Western Fair in London. And for family events.
Connie always joined us for our nightly campfire.
Summers will not be the same without her!

Condolence from Meris Harvey on November 29th, 2024 12:50 AM

My deepest sympathy to all of Connie’s family. Connie was always game for any adventure or outing. She was always interesting, outgoing, fun, and so very positive. I remember how kind Connie was with me, after my husband passed away. Her thoughtful kindness at such a heart wrenching time, will always be remembered and cherished.
Fly with the angels Connie, you have earned your wings. You will be missed.

She will be missed by the gardeners at the Goderich Horticultural Society .
Connie , you are at peace and no more pain ……

Condolence from Stephen Lovell on December 1st, 2024 2:29 AM

Connie was my Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Pat’’s second daughter, coming after her older sister, Karen. Although our family lived in San Francisco, every other summer we flew to Canada and spent the entire summer in Southampton with our four cousins: Karen, Connie, Timmy (he’s “all growed up now,” so we call him Tim), and Jimmy. I thought my cousin Connie was the cutest little person I had ever seen. She had a low, sonorous voice, like Tatum O’Neal.
All my childhood memories of those blissful summer days in Southampton include Connie. The memories remain even though my cousin is gone. I am glad that Karen, Tim, and Jim are still here, and that I can share my memories of Southampton with them and with my own sister and brothers.

Condolence from June and Ted Greeaway on December 3rd, 2024 4:44 PM

Connie was our neighbour and friend for the past twelve years. Always a happy smile and a helping hand. Many fond memories, she will be sadly missed.

Condolence from Marie Van Dorp on December 4th, 2024 4:27 AM

Connie you will be so missed by the Goderich and District Horticulture. This is how I became to know you. You were always there to help me plant the flowers and take care of gardens. At our executive meetings I look across at your empty directors chair. How we will miss your input and organizational skills. I’ll miss you my friend and so will many others. Happy planting dear friend.

Condolence from Susan Pye on December 5th, 2024 2:00 AM

I was sad to learn that Connie has left this world way too soon. Those who knew her at Bluewater Youth Centre and her chosen community of Meneset and Goderich will remember her positive energy and cheerful generous nature.

Condolence from Betty Hendriks on December 5th, 2024 8:26 PM

I got to know Connie as a member of the Goderich District Horticultural Society. She had a lovely sense of humour and always saw the positive side of things. She was quick to pitch in and help with community projects and worked until the job was done. Connie was a real people person and could bring people together so that differences of opinions could be resolved quickly. I will miss Connie, her kind heart and her green thumb. Rest in peace.

Condolence from Doug and Vicki White on December 6th, 2024 4:31 PM

Connie has been a valued friend over the years, always ready to help out at a moments notice. We watched Survivor together for 22 years, a candle will be lit on Wednesdays now!

Condolence from Janet McClinchey McClinchey on December 10th, 2024 12:38 AM

My sincere condolences to all of Connie’s family. I met Connie through the Goderich Horticulture Society. I
volunteered with Connie’s team maintaining a garden throughout the summer. Connie was a very positive, kind person always ready to lend a helping hand by volunteering where needed. I will miss you Connie

Condolence from Paul Cash on December 14th, 2024 2:53 PM

Spent times at the Forsyth family home at times being on the same street. My cousins Connie and Karen use to play around and visit.
