Constance ‘Connie’ Loraine Vavrek nee Hamilton resident of Sexsmith, Alberta passed away on Tuesday January 18, 2022 at the Royal Alex Hospital in Edmonton, at the age of 66 years.

Connie will be sadly missed by her children, Warren (Angela), Carla (Kevin), and Greg (Ashley); husband, Larry; siblings, Terry (Ellie), Colleen (Art), and Diane; parents, Lorne and Jean; and grandchildren, Liam, Ciaran, Noelle, Kiara, Kaylee, and Aiya-Lynn.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Connie was my co-worker for 10 years. We came from the same world on how to raise kids and expectations. We often would laugh about how, kids these days just don’t want to listen. She was a straight shooter when it came to saying things how they were. She is gone to soon, and will be missed.
