Connie Searcy

Carolyn "Connie" Jeanne Searcy of St. Charles, MN passed away on September 30th, 2016 at the age of 92 at St. Mary's Hospital in Rochester, MN after a very short hospitalization. She was born in Maryville, MO to parents Marve Curnutt and Helen (Wray) Curnutt on August 7th, 1924. She had one sister, Marge McLean, who was 5 years her senior.
Connie attended Maryville's Teacher college in Maryville, MO where she met Franklin Searcy. They were married in New York City in 1944 and lived in Boston, MA, Yorktown, VA, San Diego, CA, Owatonna, MN and Valparaiso, IN before moving to St. Charles in 1954 where she resided for 62 years.

(Heidi) of St. Charles, MN, honorary daughter Nancy Rentfrow of Erie, CO, 8 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her parents and sister.
Connie was one-of-a-kind; young at heart, a lover of music and dancing, an avid reader, entertainer, great cook, free spirit, always elegantly dressed and up for any adventure. She was full of compliments for others, and loved her friends and family, always putting each before herself. She lived independently in her home until her passing and remained mentally sharp, even informing her physicians of which presidential candidate she believed won the recent debate.
