Connie was born on Sept. 15, 1941, the daughter of Ralph and Juanita (Paustian) Seibel. She graduated from Durant High School with the Class of 1959. Connie married Ed Voss on Sept. 17, 1960, in Davenport.
Throughout her life, Connie held many jobs, but the one closest to her heart was her role as a child caretaker at Rainbow Connections and Campus for Kids in Durant. Her gentle spirit, patience, and warm smile touched the lives of countless children in the community.
Connie had a passion for antiques and could often be found exploring shops in search of hidden treasures. She found joy in the little things, whether it was gathering with her beloved “59ers” or spending hours with her best friends, thoughtfully discussing life and “solving the world’s problems.” She and her husband, Ed, shared a love for classic cars and spent countless joyful days cruising all over Iowa together. Above all, Connie was a proud and devoted grandmother who never missed a chance to support her grandchildren. Whether at a game or concert, she was always there with a smile and encouraging words.

She was preceded in death by her son, Dan; an infant sister, Susan; her brother, Rick Seibel, brother-in-law, Larry Kook.
