Connie Sue Tischer, daughter of Eugene and Arlene (Enger) Flynn was born April 29, 1951 in Emmetsburg, Iowa. She began her education in Rodman and then attended Emmetsburg Community School, graduating from Emmetsburg High School in 1969. She continued her education at Iowa Lakes Community College completing the secretarial program.
On June 14, 1974 Connie was united in marriage to Mike Tischer in Estherville, Iowa. They were blessed with two sons, Brian and Chad.
Connie was hired as a secretary with Stockdale, Inc. in Estherville in 1971. With her keen eye for details, friendly personality, and steadfast loyalty, she soon became indispensable, taking on many roles. After her formal employment ended, the Stockdale relationship continued as a treasured friend and advisor. She later worked at Secure Benefits in Spirit Lake, retiring in 2013.
Connie enjoyed doing ceramics, making many beautiful items for family and friends. She liked going to Flea Markets and garage sales, especially collecting Beanie Babies. Connie’s family was her greatest joy. She loved decorating her home for the holidays to celebrate with them as well as family get togethers and card parties. A special time for Connie was building Lego projects with her grandchildren. Connie also loved to go fishing but she never wanted to put the worms on the hook or take the fish off that she caught. She also liked to occasionally go to the casino with her family.
Connie passed away Wednesday, August 20, 2025 at her home in Estherville, Iowa at the age of 74. She was preceded in death by her parents, Eugene and Arlene Flynn; brother-in-law, Robert Schaumberg; and her Godson, Brett Flynn.
