Connie Sue McFalls

Our sister, Connie Sue McFalls, born June 4, 1955, in Arlington, Wash., went home to Heaven in the late afternoon of April 11, 2020, in Hot Springs. Connie would have been 65 this year.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Alice McFalls; her oldest sister, JoAnn Bishop; and her oldest brother, Roger Bishop.

She is survived by her sisters, Janie McFalls-Bertalan and Deborah McFalls-Andersen; our sister from another mother, Glenda Ryals-Wood; her brothers, Jimmy McFalls and Martin McFalls; nieces, Tammi, Ashley, Sara and Quincy; nephews, Bill, Aron, Joshua and Morgan; eight great-nieces and six great-nephews; and lots and lots of cousins from Washington state to Georgia and North Carolina and Virginia.

And now a little bit about our Sweet Angel: Connie Sue McFalls. She was born in Arlington but raised in Darrington until 1965. We had a great childhood in Darrington.

We share great memories from there. We were outside kids.

Connie, Jimmy and I were always together. I was always playing tricks on Connie and Jimmy. Connie was always a kind and caring person even in her younger days. She was always trying to help or take care of someone. She carried that through her adult life.

Connie was always there for anyone that needed help or just needed a friend. Even when she didn’t have two nickels to her name she would always find a way to help someone, because that is who Connie Sue McFalls was.

Connie did without more times than any one person should ever have to endure. It breaks our hearts that she was given the adult life that would break any one person. Connie being Connie, she kept her head afloat until the mental abuse brought her to her breaking point. Our sweet angel, Connie, will no longer have to suffer in the hell on earth that was forced upon her or be without family and friends. Mom, Dad, JoAnn and Roger were waiting for her with open arms, with hugs and kisses forever.

My sweet Connie, until we are together again to take walks and have those long conversations, you will be with me. I love you, my sweet sister, Connie, and we will never let you and your kind and giving spirit and soul ever be forgotten.
