Connie Suzanne Grandgeorge-Nicoletti passed on Tuesday April 7, 2020 at Trinity Regional Medical Center in Fort Dodge from complications due to lung cancer.

Connie was born in Webster City, Iowa and was raised by parents, Laurent and Colleen Grandgeorge. She attended St. Paul’s Parochial School and graduated from Webster City High School. She also received an Associate’s Degree from Iowa Central Community College.

Connie welcomed her son, Tag into her life in 1972. In 1976 she met Richard Nicoletti and they welcomed daughter, Nicole in 1978. Connie and Rich were together from 1976 to 1998. They lived and raised their children in Eagle Grove. Connie resided in Duncombe with long time partner David Haynes from 2001 to the present. Connie was a proud, proud mother and was delighted to the core to be a grandmother.

Connie was a member of the Eagle Grove Jaycees and she also served as Secretary for the Friends of the Ban de la Roche French Club.

Connie was a free spirit, an old soul and a hippie at heart. She found most of her happiness in music and time shared with family, friends and her beloved dog Miss Claire. Connie loved the water, boating, motorcycling, camping, gardening and anything to do with the outdoors. Connie’s many hobbies included embroidery, quilting, cross stitch, ceramics, doll making and canning the bounty of her gardens. She was famous for her strawberry rhubarb jam, which she always shared with family and friends. Connie was a member of a monthly book club and an avid reader.
