Connie Kunkle (Evine) has died

peggles · ‎03-13-2010

She had a brain disease - Frontotemporal Degeneration - which is a form of dementia that affects the part of the brain behind the forehead and affects the person's behavior. I recall reading a post here that she behaved badly on camera near the end of her tenure at Evine, and now we know why. A few of her co-hosts held a remembrance ceremony for her in Orlando a few days ago.

This is such sad news. My thoughts and prayers are for Connie Kunkle's family and friends at this difficult time. Rest in peace Connie.

There was a post on this this fall - I think it happened a couple of months ago.

I saw the earlier thread on the fashion board and felt so bad about her passing. I really enjoyed watching her but I began to think she was taking a ****** a bit before work. Connie always had an outgoing personality but all of sudden it just became a little strong. I suppose she was just to young for me to even consider she was showing signs of an illness. She is missed so much. What a voice and what a woman.

Yes, this was discussed here a few months ago when she passed. I also had noticed her bad behavior on set before her departure from Evine. I was also shocked to hear that she died at only 58 from early dementia. That explained her change in personality. I really liked her from her earlier times on TV. So sad.
