Connie “Constance” Ann Myer “Crumbaugh” died Jan. 16, 2026, following a brief illness. Connie was born June 16, 1959 to her mom and dad, Georgene M Grimm and Donald A Crumbaugh. Connie leaves behind her dad, Donald Crumbaugh, Marion; sisters, Donna Hood, Marion, Angela Karasek, Cedar Rapids, and Tammy Harman (Vince), Yuma, AZ; brother, Tim Crumbaugh (Michelle Meyer), Cedar Rapids; two grandsons, Kane Lambert and Avery Bascom, Cedar Rapids; great-granddaughter, Luna Lambert; aunts, Toni Simpson (Brant), Cedar Rapids, and Rose Northen, Hiawatha; and special friend, Dawn Lambert, Cedar Rapids.

Connie had a very outgoing personality. She easily made friends wherever she went. Connie enjoyed watching TV shows with CSI Miami being her absolute favorite. You could always find Connie with a cold Pepsi in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Connie’s cat, Poppy, was very special to her, bringing comfort and companionship.
