Connie's favorite pastimes were shopping (mall shopping, yard sales, and thrift shops). She also enjoyed traveling (bus trips, field trips) and attending cultural events (plays, concerts, seminars).

In her younger years, she had a passion for taking pictures with what are now considered vintage cameras (Brownie, Kodak Instamatic, and various Polaroid models). In her later years, she immersed herself in watching television evangelists. Connie was a member of the Goodwin Memorial Baptist Church.
