I was delayed learning of the loss of my friend and former colleague. My most sincere condolences to Connies family who were all so loved by their mom. I initially worked with Connie during the 80s at Broadlawns and so enjoyed her. Our paths continued to cross over the years to my delight . An unbelievably hard working person, Connie was a kind, compassionate, excellent nurse. It was my honor to have known her and Connie will remain in my prayers and in my heart.

I worked with Connie at BMC on med/surg and also at Amesysis home health. She was a hard worker and loved her kids. I would sometimes talk with her at Lutheran when looking for an open bed and she would always keep me up to date on the kids. She will be missed!

Servant to others, both through your work and home. Your family; your main priority. Provider. You went the extra mile; giving of yourself, bearing the consequences without complaint or blame. I will miss our conversations; our exchanges of support. Im thankful that we were able to speak openly about all matters, and that we took time, while you were here, to let one another know the value of our friendship. Im glad nothing was left unsaid. I know youll be close in spirit and continue to watch over your flock. Love you friend.

Dear Connie, my friend, my champion, you will be missed more than you could know.
I was one of Connie's clients, just over five years now. She fought fiercely on my behalf. She was a great comfort at times when life got topsy turvy.
My condolences to her family. That tiny little woman had a huge heart and filled big shoes.

Connie was one of the hardest working women I ever knew. I met her at Magellan. She was a quick study and was a team player. She was kind smart and dedicated. Connie was devoted to her family and never missed one of her kids sporting events. Connie was an asset to all who knew her.

I went to nursing school with Connie, and worked with her on the Mobile Crisis Response Team. Connie was a kind person who was very dedicated to her work, and to her family. Rest peacefully now, Nurse Hoffman. Your work here is done.
