Obituary of Connie Caldwell

Connie Lou Caldwell was born on July 1, 1959, in Monroe, Michigan.   The daughter of Bob Caldwell and Martha Kathleen (Price) (Caldwell) Moore. She was one of three children born from the union.   Connie attended Monroe Public Schools and graduated from Jefferson High School with the class of 1977.

It was no secret, that Connie loved and adored her fur babies. In fact, she bred Yorkie dogs for many years, and was also happy to share her home with Collie and Australian Shepherd dogs as well. Living on a “mini farm” near Midland, Michigan, Connie’s love of four-legged family members expanded when she added goats to the mix. She currently had eight of them cohabitating on her property.

Connie could best be described as a very special and giving gal.  Regularly, Connie looked forward to meeting her high school friends to break bread, and to catch up on each other’s lives.  Above anything, Connie truly loved her family and was always concerned about their well-being and safety.  Her calm and collected approach to life was a blessing to those around her.

Connie Lou Caldwell, age 63, of Coleman, Michigan, passed away unexpectedly at 4:03am on Sunday; August 28, 2022. Her passing was preceded by her parents.

To cherish her memory, she leaves the love of her life: Sally Sue Reed; two brothers: Steven Moore out of Monroe, Michigan, Timmy Moyer out of Tennessee; a brother-in-law: Tom Zwarka; one nephew: Derek Moore and eight nieces and nephews whom she loved very much!
