Connie Kay (Staley) Henry

Connie Kay (Staley) Henry was born July 12, 1957, in Bend, Oregon, to Robert and Marilyn Staley, and was brought home by her Lord on Sept. 30, 2016.

Her childhood was spent in Seaside, Oregon, attending school and participating in sports, notably track and field and basketball.

Later in life, she settled in Minnesota, working and raising her children. The past few years have seen her return to her beloved Oregon, working and spending time with her family.

She is survived by her mother, Marilyn Staley; her sister, Judy Staley of Seaside; her daughter, Tessie (David) Rodkevich, and son, Travis Henry, both of Minnesota; five grandchildren; her nephew, Dylan Rabell; her companions, Bella and Ken; and numerous friends.

Her optimistic nature endeared her to many along her life journey, and she will be dearly missed by all.

A celebration of life will be held at the Hamlet Historical Schoolhouse at noon Saturday, Oct. 8.
