Saying Goodbye

Connie Alberta Chose

Connie Chose lost her year long fight with Leukemia on July 7, 2011 surrounded by family and loved ones.

Connie was born on July 7, 1951 in Renton WA, the third of five children of Albert and Laura Hohmann. Connie met Ron Chose in 1968 after being set-up by her older brother. They were married in 1970 and had two sons. Connie was a dedicated employee and worked many jobs, including as a roller-waitress; she then established a 26 year long career with Boeing in Everett, WA as an Expediter.

Mom was the life of the party; she had a magnetic personality and a strong spirit that drew people to her. Her sense of adventure found her and Ron in many distant lands, including Japan, Europe, Thailand, the Caribbean and countless destinations throughout the US. She could tell a story of her adventures that would light up the room and bring a smile to everyone. She was loved by all who knew her and she loved all she knew.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Ron, who has never left her side; son and daughter-in-law, Steven and Jackie, son and daughter-in-law, David and Lisa; grandson, Connor; and her little dog Maggie.

A private family graveside service will be held at Floral Hills on Wednesday July 13, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. with a viewing at 10:00 a.m.
