Connie A. Schwanengel

Connie Alice Schwanengel, born on May 26, 1943, in Dayton, Ohio, departed this life peacefully on March 13, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, and care that will continue to resonate with all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Throughout her life, Connie embraced her role as a loving mother and dedicated homemaker. She maintained a meticulously clean and tidy home, reflecting her innate sense of order and nurturing spirit. Known for her great sense of humor, she possessed a personality that was both generous and giving, truly embodying the purest of souls.

She found joy in the simple pleasures of life—keeping a clean and tidy house, nurturing her beautiful garden, and indulging in her favorite hobbies like shopping and needlepoint. Connie treasured the special moments spent with her friends and family, always ready to lend an ear or offer a helping hand. Her loving heart extended to her adored pets, especially her darling dog Nikki, and her animal companions—Gus, Toby, Boomer, Sheba, and Maggie—who brought her endless joy. She always donated generously to SICSA and St. Jude Children’s Research.

Connie is survived by her beloved daughters, Stacy (Wayne) Schwanengel, Kerry (Hijo) Schumer, and Denise Niece; her grandchildren, Andrew Luthman, Caden Niece, Toni Nuse, and Erin; and several cherished great-grandchildren. She was the loving sister to Joanne (Jim) Reichert and held a special place in the hearts of her niece, Jerri (Elvis) Gamble, and nephews, Jimmy Reichert and Jeff (Hope) Reichert. Connie's enduring connections included many dear friends, whom she treasured, such as Jack Kaylor, Pat Nelson, Patti Nelson, Donna Meinpel, and Sandy Hahn, along with numerous other family members and neighbors who were touched by her kindness.

She is predeceased by her husband, James R. Schwanengel, and her parents, Joe and Thelma Such. Connie’s life was marked by her proudest accomplishments, which included being a wonderful sister and aunt, and without question, the best mom anyone could ask for.

Connie A. Schwanengel will be deeply missed, but her memory will forever remain a source of love and inspiration to those who were fortunate enough to know her.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Connie’s memory to SICSA.
