Celebration of Life for Connie ….

Celebration of Life for Connie Young

with special guest Southside Jazz Band

Connie Young’s celebration of life will be held on Sunday, Dec. 7, at 3:30 p.m. at LW Community Church.

Southside Jazz Band will play at the celebration. Connie hired the band to play at her and her husband Jay’s 70th wedding anniversary in Big Bear, California. Her wish was to have them play at her memorial with all of her friends there. Reservations and formal dress are not required.

The program will start with a short service in the sanctuary with the preacher and Dave Baker, who was the president of the NFL Hall of Fame and played basketball for Connie’s husband in high school, will say a few words, along with a few family members.

The group will then move to the dining room to hear the band, dance, and have refreshments, where more people can say a few words about Connie during the musical breaks. She wanted music, a party and friends to celebrate her life. She will be there in spirit.
