Connie met David (Gene) Worthen at West High in zoology class. They were married June 30, 1961 in the Salt Lake Temple. David and Connie have been dedicated to each other for "almost" 59 years.

Connie enjoyed teaching Pep Club at WXHS and loved her co-workers at Franklin Quest. She loved spending time with her family, traveling, camping, Lake Powell and movies. She was an avid Jazz fan and watched every game! Mom, we love you and will miss your pretty blue eyes.
She is survived by her husband, 5 children, 19 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren (plus 2 coming soon) and her sister, Vicky (Jack) Johnston. She was preceded in death by her parents.
