To the Henry family, Connie was a dear friend and colleague, and a special role model for me as a nurse practitioner. She provided NP care to both of my daughters and me, and we are all so sad for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
God Bless one of the kindest. most sweetest ladies I’ve ever met or known. Another angel was just welcomed into heaven.
Will miss your photos from the past at the Uniontown High reunions. You were a sweetheart.
A beautiful tribute to a wonderful person. Connie will be missed by so many and personally I will miss our honest talks the most. You fought the fight with dignity and grace. God Bless you Connie.
Loss of a great friend and classmate. She will always be remembered as a kind and generous person. Prayers to the family and rest in peace Connie, you will be missed.

I had the pleasure of serving with Connie on the nurse practitioner board for many years. She offered wise counsel to our group and worked hard to advance our profession. When we roomed at the conferences together she loved to tell stories of her family, especially her granddaughter. She loved to spend time with her. She will be missed by many.
With heartfelt sympathy, deepest condolences to Ed, Dylan and family. Connie was a remarkable woman and will be missed. Met her when I was a new NP in ’99 and have admired her all these years for her service and dedication to our profession. She is irreplaceable.
I was fortunate to have had the chance to meet and talk with Connie several times. She is a beautiful person inside and out, always with a smile. I will not forget her. Peace be with all who will miss her.
Ed, Dylan and the Kell-Henry family The Greenbriar OB/GYN family is deeply saddened by the loss of your dearly beloved Connie. She will be greatly missed by each and every one of us here. Thank you for sharing her with us, but now her new journey begins. Peace and Blessings
Ed and Dylan: Connie was as sweet and genuine a person as God ever made. It has been many, many years since being with her, but I well remember her quiet sense of humor. I prayer for her eternal rest and for both of you to live in peace, happiness and good health.
Connie, You love, respect, and care you show to others is palpable. I pray your soul rest in perfect peace in the bosom of father Abraham. May your family be consoled during this time of grief. You will forever be in my memories. I feel blessed to have known you.
Connie remains in my mind and heart as a loving, kind, energetic and feisty advocate for nurse practitioners and our patients. She reached out to me as a new nurse practitioner, let me shadow her at work once, and always was available for “curbside consults” over the phone regarding GYN questions. She had a wonderful way about her; was funny, down to earth, and her faith was inspiring. I will miss her but know she’s not gone, and her powerful spirit lives on. God bless all of her loved ones…my deepest sympathy to you all.
My deepest sympathy to Connie’s family. Connie was my head nurse back in the late 1980s and early 1990s when I was still a new nurse, a complainer, and a wise guy. Not a great combination. It is to her credit that she never lost patience with me and her steadfast professionalism mixed with compassion and humor taught me a lot. Although we lost touch after I left in 1993 I often think of her. I will always remember her walking into the nurse’s station first thing in the morning when I was on night shift and smiling as she’d say, “Good Morning ladies; don’t start Donna!” And then we’d all laugh. She lived a life of consequence and will be remembered always.
I called Connie my “aunt” even though we were not related by blood. She always looked after me as if I was her own. Especially after my mom died, she became like a surrogate mom, answering my questions or just being a sympathetic ear when I had my own daughters. She was never bitter or hardened or resentful; she was always kind and generous and loving to the end. I will miss her dearly and thank God for her presence in my life.
So sorry for the loss of a wonderful person. She always had a positive attitude and a beautiful smile. A real privilege to know. Prayers for Ed and the family are being lifted up.
Connie was a faithful advocate for the medical needs of very poor people in Virginia. We at SALT are so grateful for her support and for making all of us aware of the needs and work of the Health Wagon Team of Wise County, Virginia. In so many ways, she put her faith into action.
I was privileged to have known and worked with Connie. She was a wonderful person!
Connie has been the heart of the 200 block of Battle Street. The neighborhood will truly miss Connie. Our prayers are with you, Ed and your family. The Strike Family
My heart was sadden to learn of our beloved Connie’s passing. She was my nurse practitioner for 19 years and she will be sorely missed. May God comfort her loving family during this time of transition and sorrow.
Dear Ed, Please accept our condolences for your loss. Connie will always be in our hearts and prayers Mike and Di
I am so sorry to hear of Connie’s passing. I’ve been going to see Connie since 1993 and have followed her to different practices because of her caring heart, friendship, and humor. My heart and prayers go out to her family and friends. She will be missed. With love and sympathy,
