When a cardinal appears, an angel is nearby. Connie collected red birds, watched old westerns, and Elvis movies, spent time with her daughter, grandkids, granddog, and other family, daily phone conversations with her cousin Dell and best friend “Dell.” Connie never met a stranger. To know her was to love her.
Connie is survived by her daughter Christy Guest (Bobby Hill) and stepson Michael King (Jessica); grandchildren Christopher Clark-Gutierrez (Elizabeth), and Cody Clark (Dejah); great-grandchildren Warenlee Gutierrez, Lanie Rae Gutierrez and Zane Clark (due soon). She is also survived by her brother Rickey Benson, many aunts, uncles, cousins, a nephew, brother and sisters-in-law, and a host of friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, and grandparents.
