The "mom and grandma" to many, Connie Lorene Mackleit (Kelley) passed away on May 26, 2017. Connie was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, to Lee and Pansy (Domon) Kelley on October 27, 1938. Connie moved to Quincy, Washington, where she graduated from high school. While a senior in high school, Connie met her soon to be forever love and husband, Robert Mackleit. Connie and Bob married on June 17, 1956.
Bob was in the US Air Force, and for the next twenty-two years they were stationed at many bases all over the country. During the various stops along the way, they welcomed four daughters into their lives. The first, Teresa Ann, was born in Soap Lake, Washington. The second, Tamra Marie, was born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The third born was Tina Annette in Honolulu, Hawaii. The baby, the fourth daughter, Terrenia Michelle was born in Sacramento, California.
