November 22, 1946 - July 23, 2006
Our beloved Connie, age 59, lost her battle with cancer and depression and went to be with our Lord on July 23, 2006. Connie was born on November 22, 1946, in Richland, WA to Maryann Smith and the late Robert Smith. She attended Richland High School and graduated in 1965. She subsequently graduated from beauty school and worked in Richland as a hair dresser for 17 years. She then went to work as a receptionist for Dr. Greg Oberg for nearly 17 years, until 1991, when she married the love of her life, Keith Price. Connie was a sincere Christian and continuously strived to better her relationship with God. She loved home decorating, refinishing furniture and traveling with her husband. She had many collections including dolls, doilies (handmade by her mother), figurines, jewelry, and quilts. She loved to exercise and was devout in taking care of herself. Connie will be remembered for her vivacious personality, her adoration for frills and "frou- frou", her creative talent for decorating, her love of good cooking, and her ability to engage those around her. She was dearly loved and will be dearly missed. Connie is survived by her loving husband, Keith Price; her son Brett (Vanessa) McBain of Bella Vista, AR; her mother Maryann Smith of Richland, WA; her sister Judy (Don) Schnell of Richland, WA; her brother Bob Smith of Lancaster, CA; her brother Bill (Noreen) Smith of Kennewick, W A; 4 step children; 3 nieces; 5 nephews; 2 great-nieces; 1 great-nephew; 1 great-nephew on the way; and her darling Charlie.
