CONNIE HINRICHS

Anamosa

Connie Hinrichs, 61, of Anamosa, went to be with her Savior on March 4, 2015, at St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids, surrounded by her family.

Connie was born Nov. 13, 1953, in Monticello, Iowa. She graduated from Anamosa High School in 1972. She married Dennie Hinrichs on Nov. 11, 1972. She was blessed to be able to raise their three children at home. She then worked for the Department of Transportation and later retired from the Anamosa State Penitentiary.

After retirement, she became a Master Gardener. Her greatest love was her family and spending time with them, especially her grandchildren.

She is survived by her loving husband of 42 years, Dennie; three children, Michelle (Corey) Smith of Anamosa, Chad (Julie) Hinrichs of Marion and Angie (Brian) Hinrichs of Anamosa; her five grandchildren, Lacey, Caden, Noah, Keira and Kyle; her mother, Shirley Schoon; and her sisters and brothers, Diane (Bob) Miller of Florida, Randy Schoon of Florida, Pat Potuznik of Tennessee, Doug Schoon of Florida and Bruce Schoon of Minnesota.

Connie will be remem-bered for her positive attitude, her talent for decorating, her passion for her yard, using her gardening skills and especially her beautiful smile and infectious laugh.

She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.
