Connie Mitchell Wallace, 77, passed away peacefully on August 8, 2024, at her home with family in Eatonton, Georgia.
She was born in Porterdale, Georgia, on June 15, 1947, to the late Howard and Mildred Moss Mitchell.
Connie spent most of her life in Almon, Georgia. She was very caring and loving and was primarily known for her BIG hugs. She always thought of others before thinking about herself.
She was very devoted to studying and reading the word of God — her Bible.
Her heart was dedicated to Shiloh United Methodist Church in Almon, where she had many friends and family. Connie liked the outdoors, nature, arts and crafts, puzzles, and especially cooking. She was well known for her cornbread, macaroni and cheese, and sweet potato souffle, which was loved by many, especially Uncle Frank at Thanksgiving.
Connie is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, Thomas ‘Skip’ Wallace, her sister-in-law, Nancy Wallace, and her brothers-in-law, Frank Malcolm, Paul Ralston, and Glen Watkins.
Connie is survived by sons Brad (Tammy) Wallace and Steve Wallace, a sister, Laura Malcom, and sisters-in-law Margaret Ralston and Linda Watkins. She leaves behind four grandchildren: Justin (Sandy) Palmer, Brandon (Katie) Welch, Allison (Jacob) Morris, and Tyler Wallace, 10 great-grandchildren, and nieces and nephews, whom she loved dearly.
A Memorial service will follow at a later date. Vining Ivy Hill Chapel is in charge of the arrangements.
