Connie Jean Hess

Passed away on June 24, 2010 at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital with her devoted husband, Herman, at her side. Born in Fullerton, Nebraska on August 15, 1926, she was the loving mother of three children and two step-children, as well as the incredible grandmother of seven and great grandmother of two. After Nebraska, Connie lived in Idaho, New Mexico, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Yucaipa, California before settling in Oakmont in 1993. She and Herman enjoyed traveling which started with their honeymoon cruise to Alaska and later visits to Africa, the Caribbean and Mexico, and several visits to Europe that included a river boat trip crossing the entire continent of Europe. She also enjoyed a cruise through the Panama Canal. Connie and her husband have been members of Presbyterian Church of the Roses serving actively as Deacons and as members of the Gifts & Bequests Committee.
