Connie was a long-time resident of Manila where she cooked at several cafes, Senior Center and later the County Jail. She also ranched several years with her husband Lee Reed.
She was a member of the LDS church where one of her favorite calling was being and ordinance worker and playing the organ in the Vernal Temple. She loved to craft, play games, garden, bake, going for mountain drives, and spending time with her family. She loved the Manila rodeo and in her younger years enjoyed dancing and going with her mother to polka festivals. Music was always a passion. She always looked forward to family reunions and her September get-together with Yvonne and Delores and Grandma Cook as they would go to Wendover for their Annual Birthday Gambling trip. They both allowed her to reconnect and catch up with all her loved ones. She adored all her cousins and would often brag about having such a large, wonderful family.
