CONNIE ANN BYGDEN

On Easter Sunday, March 31, 2024, Connie Ann Bygden ascended into Heaven surrounded by her family.

Connie was born on June 27, 1962. Connie was known for lighting up a room with her bright personality and loving nature. Connie had many strengths, but her biggest strength was teaching those around her how to love. Connie, or better known as “Puff” to those who knew her, never let anything stop her. Growing up, Connie enjoyed swimming, horseback riding, singing karaoke, dancing, and riding her moped and being surrounded by family and friends. Everyone who came in contact with her always held a special place in her heart, and she never forgot a face. She is known for her quick-wittedness and always bringing a smile to everyone’s face. If you knew Connie, you had an extra blessing in your life.

Connie is survived by her parents John ‘Pete’ and Marilyn (Paquette) Bygden, brother Robert Bygden, sisters Cari (Richard) Oliver, and Phyllis (Ben) Muzljakovich, Aunt Carol (Paquette) LeFave, nine nieces and nephews, seventeen great nieces and nephews, and three great great nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her grandparents Joseph and Sybil Bygden and Hector and Ella Paquette.

A memorial service will be announced for a future date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the St. Jude Children’s Research Foundation. McWilliams Funeral Home has been entrusted with arrangements.
