Connie was my favorite Evine host ever, she was beautiful and oh so much darn fun. I knew there had to be something radically wrong for Connie to leave her job without a word.

Very sad news. 

Prayers for Connie's family and friends. 

 

Connie used to volunteer for one of the PBS channels in the twin cities. She also volunteered for their fundraisers.

That is just really 😭 sad.....hard to believe. She was so vibrant. A great host! Seems like lately so many sad deaths.

That makes me very sad, I really enjoyed her on Evine.  She had an absolutely beautiful voice and I thought was very funny.

 

I haven't watched in a couple of years, as we don't get that channel anymore.

 

I know she is singing up in heaven.  What a beautiful person, so full of life.  God bless her family and friends.

 

She is at peace, out of the mind and body that failed her.Heart

 

I believe one can die of dementia, as the mind forgets to make the lungs continue to work.

I'm shocked to.  First of the young age and the diagnosis.  And I had no idea dementia could be fatal, either.

 

Whose FB was this posted on?  May I ask?

OMGosh, how shocking. 

 

She was such a beautiful and talented lady. 

 

What a devastating disease.  She was so young.

 

Thanks for letting us know, @sunshine45

So very sad. She was a terrific host. Full of life and sincerity and fun. 

I seem to remember her mentioning taking care of her mom with Alzheimers. She said it was her honor. 

We really are blessed to have each new day.

G-d rest her soul, and give comfort to her family.

Thank You for the post. The last time I watched her on Evine she was hosting a OSO Casual show and I purchased a turquoise sun dress she was wearing. Then it seemed I didn't see her anymore. That's about 2 years ago. I always wondered what happened to her. This is so sad to hear.
