Connie Rose Summers, 82, beloved mother and grandmother, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, January 19, 2019, at Rosedale Green in Latonia, Kentucky. She was born on October 15, 1936 in Marengo, Indiana, the only child of the late Truman and Paulene Terry.
Connie was valedictorian of the Marengo High School class of 1954.

Her nurturing and caring nature carried over into her work—as teacher’s aide at Marengo Grade School; nurse’e aid at Green Valley Convalescent Center, Washington County Memorial Hospital, Tendercare Clarksville, and Corydon Nursing Home; and home health caregiver at Senior Services of Northern Kentucky. Connie retired from the Internal Revenue Service in Covington, Kentucky after 11 years of service.
Connie is survived by her sons, Wesley and Terry Summers; daughter, Robin Byerly; grandchildren, Heather Byerly, Jesse Byerly, Charity Fisher, Laci McDaniel, Adam Schotter, Justin Schotter, and Samantha Summers; and 13 great-grandchildren.
