Connie Mae Whitten passed away peacefully in her home with her loving family beside her on November 9th, 2016. Connie was diagnosed in 2009 with Pancreatic Cancer. Connie was in remission for six years. In 2015 Connie was told her cancer was back and had spread. Connie knew she had limited time so she spent her days with her family loving them and making memories.
Connie was born on June 27, 1958 to Walter and Darlene Murch. Connie attended School in Nashua, Montana until she graduated in 1976. Connie married her one true love Elmer Whitten better known as Red on March 29, 1986. This is when they started the dance of their lives. They raised four amazing children; Michael, April, Krystal and James Andrew (Andy). Connie loved every minute of her life with Red and their kids. Then came the grandkids. They were blessed with seven perfect angels; Ashtyn, Blaine, Cade, Davyn, Keigan, Kambryn and Mason. Grandma Connie spent many hours watching school programs, sporting events and loving and cherishing every moment with them. Connie would light up whenever talking about her kids and grandkids.
Connie was a giving, caring, loving person. She would always tell her sisters “Our kids have three moms- we all love them and we will always be there for them”. Connie was a loving sister and always took care of all of them. Starting with beating up any boys that ever picked on her brother Dave, to putting up with her two baby sisters always getting into her things and telling all her secrets.
Connie lived the dance of life right up to her final day. Connie left us with memories of love, laughter and smiles.
Connie was preceded in death by her husband, Red Whitten.
Survivors include her parents, Walt and Darlene Much of Nashua; son Michael (Erin) Myrick and their four kids, Ashtyn, Blaine, Cade and Davyn Myrick of Glasgow, daughter April (Jesse) Block and their two kids, Keigan Skolrud and Kambryn Block of Nashua, daughter Krystal (Bryan) Cahill and their son, Mason of Killeen, Texas and son James Andrew Whitten of Billings; brother, Dave Murch of Billings; sisters, Lori Kolstad of Glasgow and Peggy Lauckner of Nashua; numerous nieces and nephews, whom she loved as her own.
Connie will be missed by all and loved forever. We will look to the stars at night and know that she is there smiling down at us sending us love until we see her again.

I didn’t know her personally but was always so friendly with a smile that could light up a room. She fought a long hard battle. She is truly a warrior in her own right. May she forever walk with our lord and savior!
