Connie also enjoyed going to plays, movies, anything musical, playing cards, and the occasional trip to the casino.\u00a0 Her favorite pastime, above all others, was anything having to do with her grandchildren and great grandchildren.\u00a0 No matter what it was, sporting events, concerts, milestone celebrations, she was all in and ready to go.<\/p>\n
