Connie R. Stetson

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Connie R. Stetson, beloved wife,mother, and friend, who left this world on April 5, 2025. Born on May 1,1949, to the late Raymond and Laferne (nee Johnson) Blanton. Despite the early loss of her father, she found strength in her faith and family, especially after her mother remarried Earl McIntosh, whom she lovingly embraced as a second father.

Connie is survived by her beloved husband of 54 years Raymond M. Stetson; Loving mother of Christel (the late Mike) Brown, Sean (Kate) Stetson, Josh (Sara Beth) Stetson; Cherished grandmother of Halle (Nick) Ernst, Macy Brown, Grant Brown, Molly Stetson, Meredith Stetson, Mitchell Stetson, Grey Stetson, and Hank Stetson; Great-grandmother of Ezekiel and Olive Ernst. Dear sister of Linda Dollenmeyer (the late Richard), Peggy Bushelman (Rick), Terrie Freeman, Dawn Wolffram (Richard), the late Nancy Blanton, Earl (Crystal) and Charles McIntosh.

She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and dear friends. Connie embodied what it meant to be a supportive and loving spouse, with whom she built a life filled with love, warmth, and laughter. Connie and Ray enjoyed weekend trips to visit family, see live music with friends and all in all, have quality time with loved ones. There were cherished memories made at the beach with family, and she enjoyed evenings of home-cooked meals shared joyfully with her loved ones.

Connie was known for her faith, laid-back spirit, warm heart, and delightful sass that brightened the lives of all who knew her. A lover of music, Connie found joy in listening to bluegrass, country, and gospel. She appreciated the simple pleasures of life, often spending time at home with family, talking to her daughter on the phone 10 times a day, playfully getting aggravated by her sons, watching old movies & shows, messaging family about Jeopardy, and embracing those moments that brought them all together. Her warm spirit and caring nature will be remembered fondly by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A visitation will be held on Friday, April 11, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at First Baptist Church of Owensville - 5213 OH-132, Batavia, OH 45103. A celebration of life will begin at 12:00 PM. Burial will take place at Stonelick Township IOOF Cemetery.
