Connie Genner

Constance (Connie) passed away peacefully at the Chapman House in Owen Sound on September 2, 2019.  Connie leaves her partner Kevin, children Noah (Annette), Ari (Rhonda) and Devin (Alyssa), as well as her brothers Neil and Don, and her sisters Rita, Ruth, Lori and Dianne.  She will be forever missed by her grandchildren Aly, Isaac, Annabella and Otto. Connie was born on January 4, 1946 in Guelph, Ontario to Genevieve (Jenny) and Herbert (Herb) McFarlane.  She attended the University of Guelph and was a school teacher at numerous schools in Guelph. Throughout her life Connie was a teacher and caregiver to many.  She loved to garden, cook, entertain and create.  Connie loved a challenge and often chose the less easy path because it was more interesting.  Her wry wit and energy will be missed greatly.  Laugh, dance and don’t take yourself too seriously.  Special thanks to the staff and volunteers at Chapman House.  A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to Chapman House or the Canadian Wildlife Federation would be appreciated.
