Sad News:
Friends of Connie: It is with deep sorrow that I share that our friend Connie Kunkle has passed away at age 58. Little more than a year ago, Connie was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, at which time she moved to Texas to be with her sister, Judy. In the last few months, Connie transitioned to a memory care facility where she received loving care. I hope it brings some comfort that Connie never ceased to be her wonderful self, with the sparkling green eyes, and delighted her caregivers despite her advancing condition. She passed peacefully in her sleep last night. My 36 yr. friendship with Connie began with Disney Entertainment in Florida, after which she starred on Broadway and touring companies, sang around the world and in recent years was a very popular and dynamic on-air host for ShopNBC (now Evine). Arrangements will be forthcoming. I know we all share in this shock and grief and are heartbroken. Most of all, please know that Connie is no longer bound to a broken body and mind, and is now with her heavenly father, probably belting out a show tune - that's our Connie!
Rest in Peace
I've never heard of that fast dementia. I've been a fan for many years and I would check her Facebook often to see any updates. This ruined my whole holiday season. I cant believe it. RIP pretty lady and thank you. You won't be forgotten. Sing with the angels, Connie!!!
