Connie passed away on March 27, 2026.
Connie was a vibrant, creative soul who enjoyed shopping, dining out, fragrant perfumes, craft shows, and the occasional gambling outing. She had a deep love for stained glass and photography, passions that she both appreciated and practiced during her lifetime.
She possessed a deep sense of empathy for those who suffered with chronic illnesses as she lived with complications from fibromyalgia and lupus for more than thirty years. One of her endearing qualities was that she loved to talk with people and learn their stories, often sitting in her wheelchair at a mall rest stop. She really didn’t know a stranger.
Connie was preceded in death by her mother and father, John and Julia Cavender and her sister Anne McBride. She is survived by her loving husband Robin Earns, brother John (Bonnie) Cavender, sister Jean Cavender, her niece Nikki Cavender and her partner Shawn Kelso, many extended family from Sullivan, Mo and Dukedom, Tennessee, and her beloved fur babies Dumpling and Lilly and her bird Caesar.
May her memory be forever a blessing.
