Connie was born to Frank and Melva Harker on June 7, 1947, in Shelley, Idaho. She lived a fabulous and fulfilled life until February 12, 2022 where she passed away in Moore, Idaho due to a heart that loved too much. It gave and gave until it no longer could. (Doctors called this congestive heart failure). In honor of her, we would like to share some of her best qualities.
