Connie, called Meme by her family, was born in York, Neb., on March 12, 1944, to Robert and Marian (Nichols) Hetherington. She spent her early childhood years in Tucson, AZ., before moving to Gentry, Ark.
Connie was a farm girl and with her husband worked a dairy business. In 1980 the family was honored as Benton County Farm Family of the Year. Later they would operate and manage several chicken houses on their farm in Gravette, Ark.
Connie loved to make items with her knitting machine and was a pretty good bowler in her day. She had a great love for horses, especially her Paints, Queenie and Fancy. She enjoyed time with all friends and she especially loved her family and time spent with them at holidays and special occasions.
Connie was preceded in death by her parents, and husband JD Engleman. Survivors are children Brenda Salley (Randy), Rob Engleman (Brigitte), and Joy Waghorn (Bryan). Additional survivors are a sister, Bonnie Shankles (Jack), 13 grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and her constant companion of 11 years, her Chihuahua, Bell.
A Celebration of Life will be at 10 am Sat., June 4, 2022, at Bella Vista [Ark.] Funeral Home. Randy Salley and Jack Shankles will officiate. A graveside service for the family will be held immediately following at Bethal (sic) Cemetery in Gravette, Ark.
