Obituaries: Constance (Connie) Jean Blagden (Aug. 7, 1937 – June 29, 2011)
|
Connie was born August 7, 1937, in Aberdeen, Wash. Her family moved here when Connie was in grade school. She met and fell in love with Claude Blagden on a blind date and they were married on September 26, 1953. Together they raised their three children in various logging camps until finally settling on a ranch up the Winchuck River where she learned all about ranch life and the hard work involved. She was an excellent cook and a master at canning and preserving foods. She enjoyed walking our beautiful shores with her dog Ling-Ling, playing cards with her close friends, puttering in the yard with her plants, reading, and spending time with her family. She also loved crafting and always had one or more project in the works. Connie was a strong, caring person with a lot of love to give. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. Her door was always open and the coffee was always on. She would give her last dime to help someone in need. Her love and memories will be cherished forever by those close to her.
“If you are ever going to love me, Love me now, while I can know The sweet tender feelings, Which from true affection flow. Love me now While I am living. Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on ice-cold stone. If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now. If you wait until I’m sleeping, Never to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it” — Submitted by Wier’s Mortuary Chapel |
Constance (Connie) Jean Blagden, 73, of Smith River, passed away the morning of June 29, 2011, from natural causes, surrounded by her loved ones.
