Connie enjoyed many things in life from camping and traveling with her young family to her"retirement" year trips with her husband David. She especially enjoyed the long road trips where prayer and quality time took place. She was an avid Lady Lobo Fan and loved to CHEER them on. Her favorite hobby was shopping. She thrived to get a bargain. She always knew what everyone liked and her face would light up when they opened it with the joy she expected she'd see. She loved to take care of her husband, her children, her grandchildren and her mother. In everything she did, she showed love. Everyone she touched she taught Family, Faith, Love, Friendship and so much more. In God's Kingdom she joins her father, Manuel Ortiz; and son-in-law, Joe Estrada.
