Connie was born on May 9, 1946, in Osage, Iowa, the daughter of Elmer and Julia (Koshmeder) Muller. She graduated from Osage High School and went on to attend NIACC for two years before earning a certificate in Substance Abuse Counseling.
A proud and devoted mother to three daughters, Connie raised and supported them on her own. She often worked three jobs while caring for them, showing strength and determination every step of the way. Over the years, she held a variety of jobs, but the ones she loved most were those that involved helping individuals with disabilities. She found joy and purpose in serving others. Even in retirement, she continued giving back by volunteering at the Mason City Cancer Center.
In her free time, Connie enjoyed gardening, especially caring for her flowers. She was an avid reader and loved to travel whenever the opportunity arose. Animals held a special place in her heart, and she always cherished the companionship of the family dog, whichever one they had at the time.
Shopping was one of her favorite pastimes, and she never passed up a chance to treat herself or those she loved. Most of all, Connie treasured time spent with her children and grandchildren. She was deeply proud to be both a mother and a grandmother.
She was also a longtime member of Elim Lutheran Church in Marshalltown, Iowa, where her faith remained an important part of her life.
Those left to cherish memories of Connie are her children, Pam (Mark) Maness, Tammy Pell, and Shelly Pell all of Mason City, Iowa; great grandsons, Xander and Connor Rawlings of Austin, Texas; brother, Terry Muller; sister-in-law, Judy Muller; several nieces, nephews and other extended family members.
Connie is preceded in death by her husband, Neil Ackley; granddaughter, Chelsea Bierbrodt Rawlings; and her brother, Robert “Bob” Muller Sr.
Connie’s family wants to give a special thanks to the staff of St. Croix Hospice and Good Shepherd for their care and compassion during this time.
