CONNIE FETTE GAYNOR
Connie Fette Gaynor, 57 years old, passed away on Thursday, July 15, 2021, surrounded by her adoring family. Meeting shortly after graduating from high school, Connie and Kenny were married on June 7, 1986, and were blessed with three children Whitney, Abbey, and Alex. Connie had a heart of gold and always looked forward to the holidays when the family would immerse themselves in traditions. Decorating, baking cookies, and watching Charlie Brown movies were some of her favorite ways to spend time together. Connie especially loved Halloween and Christmas and her children recall the wonderful feeling they had when they walked through the door and the house was completely decorated. She was a fan of Disney movies and was often more excited than the kids to sit down and watch a movie together. Connie was crafty and enjoyed painting ceramics, many of which she used to decorate and give as gifts to family. She was also musically inclined, playing the piano and strumming the guitar to John Mellencamp songs. Connie was always close to her parents and enjoyed spending time with them. After her dad passed, picking blueberries at her mom’s house remained one of her favorite pastimes. An outdoorsy girl at heart, one could always find Connie outside, especially loving the summertime.
Connie will be dearly missed by her husband, Kenny; children Whitney Gaynor of Greenwood, Abbey (Brandon) Reeder of Brookville, and Alex Gaynor of Greenwood; grandson Beau Reeder, mother Verena Fette, and siblings Jeannie (Luke) Fullenkamp, Larry (Pam) Fette, Monica (Bud) Honnert, Butch (Michelle) Fette, Maurita (John) Weber, Joe (Shelly) Fette, Annette (Ron) Meier, and Pat (Rick) Giltner. She is preceded in death by her father, Ray Fette.
