Connie was a true diva in every sense of the word—stylish, strong, and unapologetically herself. She carried grace with attitude, love with power, and a presence that could never be ignored. Confident in who she was, Connie made no apologies for living boldly and authentically. She was a loving woman of God who spoke life into her friends and everyone she encountered. As a devoted wife, mother, glam-ma, and Nonnie, she loved fiercely and left an unforgettable imprint on every life she touched. Connie was also famously known for her delicious sweet potato pie—a labor of love that brought people together and created lasting memories. Her legacy is one of faith, confidence, resilience, and knowing your worth. Connie will always be remembered, always talked about, and never replaced.
Connie was preceded in death by her parents, and grandson, Christopher Maurice Keese, Jr.; She is survived by her husband, Anthony Thompson; children, Terika Wakefield, Cierra Thomas and Torran Wakefield-Thompson; grandchildren, Frankie "Carlos" Cuevas, Sr. and Caleb Lloyd Thompson; great grandchildren, Frankie "Papi" Cuevas, Jr. and Aria Chanel Cuevas; and best friend, Belinda Womack.
