CONSTANCE MARGARETTE FEEBACK HUFF
Constance Margarette Feeback, daughter of Winnie Clyde and Orpha Estella Kelly Feeback, was born February 14, 1932 at home near Afton, Iowa. Connie moved with her family to Arispe, Iowa, near the Melrose school and then later to a farm north of Ellston, Iowa.
When she was 17, she met the man she would spend 62 1/2 years of her life with, Teddie Donald Huff, Jr. After a short courtship they married August 27, 1949.
Don and Connie raised five children, Chris, Jake, Willis, Candy and Kathy, who are all just as stubborn as their parents and informally adopted a couple more young men. One of their greatest joys was to be surrounded by their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Connie loved working with Don on their farm, feeding and watching birds and shared a great love of the land and nature.
Connie was preceded in death by husband Don; parents; parents-in-law; sister Elizabeth Giles, and brother Bill Feeback.
