Connie Rae Roundy

February 9, 1954 - May 6, 2017

Connie Rae Roundy, age 63, returned to her Father in Heaven peacefully on Saturday evening May 6th, 2017 with her daughter, Sarah, stepson, Larry, and Bishop by her side at Timpanogos Hospital. She passed due to complications after open heart surgery. She was born on February 9th, 1954, the first child of Arthur Amos and Adarae Merrill in Ogden Utah. She married Kent W. Roundy at the Ponderosa Ranch near Lake Tahoe, Nevada on May 30th, 1983. Connie had a love for life. She enjoyed anything and everything. Many years, during her life with Kent, were spent outdoors. Playing on 3-wheelers at the sand dunes, camping in the mountains, and eventually buying the “RoundAbout” boat and spending many holiday weekends at Lake Powell. Fishing, lounging on the boat with Woobie her dog, or floating on a tube is typically where you would find her. Then her beloved husband passed on September 6th, 1998 where she sold their home and moved around until she settled and bought her home in Lehi, Utah. She then found her love of crafting. You could always find her in her craft room gluing, cutting, and pasting paper crafts, dimensional projects, and scrapbooking memories of her family with her furry pal Kane lying at her feet. Connie began working for the Department of the Army in 1981. She started in custodial, and worked her way up to Field Office Secretary, for the Project Director at Tooele Chemical Agent Disposal Facility “TOCDF,” where she retired with 33 years service. She had a deep respect for what she did. She never did anything part way. The work was done perfect or it didn’t get signed. She loved the people she worked with. Sitting in the break room playing cards, or visiting around the site. Everybody knew Connie, and everybody loved Connie. Just ask about the coffee cup collection. She loved her family, but more than that she loved serving her family. Many years were spent taking care of her recently passed sister Carrie who suffered from many illnesses. If Connie wasn’t on her phone with someone in the family, she was there at their home. Connie never sat still. She would be in crafting, running around helping someone, working in the yard, cleaning her house, or playing with her dog. She loved serving in her church, especially working with the children. In her spare time, which was rare, she enjoyed doing genealogy. Connie bore two children. Sarah Strong and Rebekah Nelson (deceased.) Sarah has two children. Weston Giles, and Jamison Giles. When Connie married Kent, she was blessed with his two boys. John Roundy, and Larry Roundy. John is married to Donna and had one child, Jordan. Larry is married to Sarah Jane and has three children. Ethan (McKenna,) Elias, and Savanah. She is survived by her Brother Dave Amos (Brennan), Sister Chris Amos, her daughter Sarah, Stepsons John (Donna), and Larry (Sarah Jane), and six grandchildren. She is preceded by her dear husband Kent W. Roundy, her mother, father, stepfather, and stepmother and still born child Rebekah Nelson. A viewing will be held on Thursday, May 11th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at her LDS Ward Building located at 1364 West 1870 North Lehi, Utah. Connie’s funeral service will be held Friday, May 12th at 11:00 am. A private family burial will take place Monday, May 15th.
