Our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Connie Bronson, passed away peacefully on May 9th, 2024 with family by her side at Grandview Lodge, Dunnville, in her 99th year. Beloved wife of the late George Basil Bronson (1966). Loving mother of Murray (Linda) of Burlington, Mark (Brenda) of Dunnville, and Andrew (Heather)of Aurora, Illinois. Proud grandmother of Timothy, Laura, Michael (Olivia), Tyler, Luke, Mandye (Mark), James (Jill Marie), Abbey (Todd), Jana (Ben), Drew, Connie and Trent. Great grandmother of Noah, Selah, Lily, Kai, Owen and Audrey. Connie is survived by her sister Patricia Alfieri and sister-in-law Eileen Forrester. Predeceased by her sisters Gloria Piper and Dorothy McIntyre. Connie was born in Buffalo, NY. In her pre-teens, Connie moved to her aunt and uncles farm in Wellandport along with her sister Patricia, shortly after both parents had passed. Upon completion of high school Connie pursued further education and commitment to her faith while attending Hamilton Business School and Eastern Pentecostal Bible College. While serving in ministry in Cornwall, ON Connie met and married the love of her life Basil Bronson. Ill health resulted in Connie becoming a young widow left to raise 3 sons on her own. At that time, she returned to Dunnville to be closer to her family of origin who offered the stability and comfort required in raising her young family. Our mother lived her adult life for her 3 boys, ensuring that they had a firm foundation in faith, hope and love. Connie was a dedicated and faithful member of Maple Creek Community Church (formerly Dunnville Gospel Church) for over 50 years serving in various capacities and enjoying the fellowship, camaraderie, and personal growth this vibrant community offered. Connie’s search to know her Heavenly Father led her into a deep love for nature, glorying in the beauty and splendour evident through creation. She developed a keen talent for painting and continued to develop her artistic ability with the written word through her poetry. Due to these hobbies Connie became a vibrant member of the Dunnville Craft Guild for many years, making many wonderful friends who shared her creativity. We give thanks for our mother, grandmother and great grandmother who leaves us a rich legacy of faith and value in a life well lived. Visitation for Connie will be held at Maple Creek Community Church, 110 Inman Rd, Dunnville, on Friday, May 17th from 2-4p.m. and 6-8p.m. Funeral Service will be held at Maple Creek Community Church on Saturday, May 18th at 1p.m. Interment to follow at Zion Cemetery.
