Connie has always been Mamaw to me. When I think of her I think of her love for animals. I noticed this the first time that I met her. She had a passion for her dogs, her goats and her silky chickens. I remember her milking her goats and bottle raising baby goats in her basement. She had a great knowledge of animals and was the go to person if you had a problem with your critter. She had a knack for nursing critters back to health and I remember her doing this for friends in the neighborhood. I remember the "phicken" that she had that was the result of a chicken and a pheasant mating. I remember the do it yourself attitude that she had. She wasn't afraid to operate a power tool or to get dirty. She was definitely a unique woman. I will always remember how kind she always was to me and how she always treated me like family. I know that I am not alone when I say that I will and I already do miss Mamaw and I will never forget her.
