Connie Williams, born Constance Joyce Dallen, went to be with her Lord Jesus on July 31, 2021. She was born to Ruth and Sam Dallen in Bronx, N.Y., on May 13, 1944. In 1946 the family moved to Los Angeles and in 1949 they purchased a home in Burbank, Calif.

She went on to further her education at Los Angeles Valley College in North Hollywood and University of California Northridge majoring in business administration and accounting. Connie met her husband, Terry, in 1982 and they were married in Carson City, Nev., on July 25, 1987. They moved to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, in May 1992.

Connie enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She loved working in her garden and belonging to organizations that help others in need. She was proud of the fact that Coeur d'Alene made it possible for her to make a difference" by getting involved. She enjoyed being a “Knit-Wit" and collecting knitting and crocheted items made by the Knit-Wits to be entered in the fair to raise money for the Knit-Wits to purchase additional yarn for the items they made and donated to many community organizations. She was also a volunteer at the Kootenai County Fair in the Floral Department for many years. She entered many of her own flowers, flower arrangements, and vegetables and won many ribbons over the years. Connie was also a member of the Coeur d'Alene Garden Club and North Idaho Dahlia Society. Connie was an avid golfer with friends both here in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and in Palm Desert, Calif., in the winter months.
