What a packed schedule for Connie Sue Campbell! Between her decades in the workforce and her years of church and commission service, she seemed busier than a claims and billing clerk juggling multiple open claims! Her retirement in 2012 must have been a shock after six years – maybe she expected more downtime? However, we all see she found balance in grandparenting duties, clearly winning the most grandchildren award. While we mourn her passing and note those she left behind, we cant help but chuckle at the sheer volume of family members – its like a small town population condensed into one life! May her special joy continue to live on, even if her work schedule is finally quiet.MIM
