Connie Cornwell Gath
Beloved Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and Friend
June 1st, 1964 – November 27th, 2024

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Connie Cornwell Gath, who left us on November 25th, 2024, at the age of 60. Surrounded by family and loved ones at her home in Preble, Connie’s final days and weeks were filled with love, kindness, and connection to those she cherished most. 

Born on June 1st, 1964, daughter of Bob and Georgia Cornwell,  Connie was a beacon of kindness to everyone who knew her. She grew up one of nine children with  values of generosity, warmth, and compassion that she carried with her throughout her life, touching the hearts of all who crossed her path. 

Connie was the devoted wife of Tom Gath, with whom she shared many joyful years filled with love, adventure, and mutual respect. Their partnership was built on an enduring commitment, leaving a legacy of deep affection that will be remembered by all who knew them.

As a mother, Connie was compassionate, supportive, and fiercely proud of her daughter Kellie. She nurtured Kellie with a patient and gentle hand, always offering encouragement and wisdom, guiding her through life’s challenges with a steady presence. As a grandmother to Kiera, her love deepened even further. Connie cherished every moment spent with Keira, offering unconditional support, joyful laughter, and endless love.
