Connie was the first female Certified Hypnotherapist in Michigan .  She worked at Dailey Life Center for 18 years with patients in varying need of help.   She also worked as a forensic Hypnotherapist helping solve many cases.  As a published author, Connie wrote books on self-help, smoking cessation, and living your best life.   She was inducted into the National Guild of Hypnotists Hall of Fame in 2000.  She was recognized in 2010 by Cambridge Who's Who for demonstrating leadership and excellence in all her life's endeavors.

Connie was a dynamic lady.  She was a force to be reckoned with and improved the lives of all who were fortunate enough to know her.

Her laughter, bright smile and wisdom will be missed.   She would ask not to mourn her death but instead celebrate her.
