Connie Jean Sukowski embarked on her next big adventure on the evening of Friday, November 8, 2024.
Connie enjoyed decades of adventures with friends and family. She spent 36 years teaching 2nd and 3rd grade students in the Palmyra Eagle School District, working alongside many cherished colleagues and friends.
Connie and her husband, Patrick Theodore Sukowski, shared 55 and a half years of marriage. Together they raised four children: Peter, Allan, Ann and Kevin Sukowski. She took great joy in watching her five grandchildren grow into amazing adults: Sonora Sukowski, Brianne Hebbe, Jared Gundrum-Sukowski, Nolan Causey, and Lore Lai Schimmel. She was privileged to be a great-grandparent to Noah and Maddie Hebbe, as well as twins Kailey and Jacob Drews.
Connie remained active throughout her life, playing in the Palmyra Community Band and serving on the Library Board. Connie and Pat were both heavily involved in the American Legion and 40 & 8. She contributed to the community through book sales at the library, blood drives, pancake breakfasts, and many other activities.
Connie follows her parents, Marge and Walt Whetlow, her grandparents, Nana and Baba and countless others on the next adventure.
