It is with great sadness we say goodbye to Connie Carter, who passed away unexpectedly on May 14, 2008 at her home. Connie was 49-years-old at the time of her passing and had been a member of our cooking staff for five years. She will be greatly missed by her family, her co-workers, and the many Meals on Wheels volunteer drivers who appreciated her dedication and caring personality.
