Constance Higgs Blosch, our beloved mother, wife, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on August 13, 2014 at age eighty-eight.

She was born October 19, 1925 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Alpha Jedde Higgs and Amy Gill. She was the second of five children.

Connie married Rulon Paul Blosch in the Salt Lake Temple in 1947 and they raised four children together.

Connie's passion was her children, grandchildren, and dedicated service to the LDS Church in which she served in several callings over the years. Before marriage, she worked in a civil service capacity in Kearns during World War II.

She had a strong testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and served three missions with her husband. The first was their building mission to Australia where chapels were built in 1963-1965. She called this mission the highlight of her life. They also served a Joseph Smith Memorial Building Hospitality mission after returning to the United States and subsequently served a Liberty Stake Leadership mission as well.

Connie also kept the accounting books and payroll for their business, Blosch Construction Company in Salt Lake City.
