Connie was born at home on August 4, 1934, in Mt. Morris, the daughter of Harold Raymond and Faith Lenore (Hanover) Blandford. She eloped and married Frederick Joseph LaFramboise on May 20, 1951.

In high school, Connie was a cheerleader, played basketball, and ran track and field.  Of all the sports, the long jump was her favorite. Her nickname was “Tucson” because she was always telling her parents, she was going to run away to Tucson, Arizona.  She loved children and animals.  Her children’s friends always called her “mom”, and she loved them like her own. She enjoyed riding snowmobiles, and motorcycles with her husband and siblings.  She was still cooking her family three meals a day, until shortly before she passed. She has touched many lives, but most importantly, she made her family feel loved.

Surviving are sons: Gerald LaFramboise, Anthony LaFramboise, Jac LaFramboise; daughter, Lana and husband, Robert Johnson; many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Connie was preceded in death by her husband, Frederick; daughter, Cathy LaFramboise; sons: Fredrick "Ric" LaFramboise and Steven LaFramboise
