Connie was the youngest of five children. She was raised in Hessel, Michigan and was a 1964 graduate of Cedarville High School.
Connie married John "Andy" Stevenson on July 18, 1964. Together they raised three children in Hart, Michigan. Connie worked multiple jobs but was well known for her crafting ability and floral arrangement skills. She always had a smile on her face and her faith in God never failed. Connie volunteered as a cub scout den mother, 4-H leader, and was a former member of the First Baptist Church of Hart. She enjoyed doing crafts with her children and grandchildren but for the last 15 years she spent most of her free time making bird feeders and crafts with her husband, Andy. Better known as the "Tea Kettle Couple", they would attend art and craft shows throughout Michigan and share their talent with others.
