Connie Betz 82 passed away in Oak Harbor, WA after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. She was born in Marysville, Ohio to Robert and Florence Miller. She grew up mostly in Ohio but also spent a year in Alabama and in Tampa Florida. After graduating High School in Xenia, Ohio, she went to nursing school in Dayton, Ohio.

The oldest son Frank was born in 1956 in Tampa. She next moved to Kansas, where her daughter Diana was born in 1958. Her son Jon was born in 1960. Living in Ottawa, Kansas she worked as a nurse and went to college to get her Bachelor’s degree. She got her Master's Degree at the University of Kansas. This led to her role in Hospital Administration and teaching at the K.U. Medical Center.
Retirement was her next adventure in Salida, Colorado. She and her husband built a cabin on 40 acres that was at an elevation of 9000 feet high in the mountains. She loved her garden, greenhouse and learning to quilt.
Due to Barton's health they had to leave the mountains moving to Deming, New Mexico in the year 2000. Upon Bart's death in 2010 she moved to Oak Harbor, Washington, where she lived with her daughter. She was cared for and loved by many caregivers.
Connie is survived by 3 children Frank, Diana and Jon. There are 8 grandchildren Joshua, Philip, Sarah, Heather, David, Stephen, Eric and Karissa. There are 7 great-grandchildren Tanzi, Jada, Tyshawn, Jaxon, Tobias, Jasmine and Jozsa.
