Connie Sue Hughes, 66, of Glasgow died Friday, August 8, 2025 at her home, surrounded by her loving family. Born on September 25, 1958, in Glasgow, she was a daughter of John Henry Jewell and Sarah Francis Coomer Watkins. She graduated from Caverna High School in 1976 and married Raymond Hughes Jr on December 28, 1979. Together, they raised four children: Susan, Renee, Misty, and Jonathan.
Connie dedicated the last ten years of her career to the Salvation Army, a reflection of her deep compassion and her desire to help others. Whether it was through her work or in her personal life, she was always ready to lend a hand to those in need. In her free time, Connie enjoyed camping with her “camping kids,” quilting in her sewing room, and spending hours in the kitchen baking, making jams, and canning fruits and vegetables.
A woman of strong faith, Connie loved the Lord and never missed an opportunity to share His message with others. She was passionate about ensuring everyone she met knew of Jesus’ love and would get to share heaven with her.
Connie spent 45 years with her husband, Raymond. Together, they shared countless adventures traveling. camping, and simply enjoying time together on the porch. Their love for each other was evident to all who knew them.
One of Connie’s, who was affectionately known as Nonnie, greatest joys was caring for her grandchildren. She took pride in staying home to care for them until they were old enough to go to school, showering them with love and affection at every opportunity.
Connie faced the hardest battle of her life over the last 6 1/2 years, courageously fighting cancer with strength and determination. Though the battle was fierce, she never gave up. In the end, cancer did not defeat her- Jesus was simply ready for her to come home.
Connie is survived by her devoted husband, Raymond Hughes Jr.; her children, Renee Grissom (John), Misty Cloutier (Josh), Jonathan Hughes (Stephanie), and Susan Benham (Charles); her beloved grandchildren, Logan Grissom, Kyndel Moore, Piper Hughes, Lukas Benham, Gavin Cloutier, Will Walters, Thomas Walters, Beau Benham, and Courtney Benham;a special son, Devon Bledsoe; her sisters, Brenda Humphrey and Donna Harper and a host of nieces and nephews.
She is preceded in death by her parents, John Henry Jewell, Sarah Frances Coomer Watkins, and her Dad, Bill Watkins; one brother, William Ernest Finn; two sisters, Judy Fancher and Carolyn Martin; and one brother-in-law, Tommy Harper.
Connie’s family and friends will forever remember her as a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and friend whose kindness, strength, and unwavering faith touched the lives of everyone she met. One thing is for certain, you always knew what she was thinking, because she spoke her mind every single day.
