OBITUARY

Connie Alston was born at home on May 08, 1951 in Munford, Tennessee to Carnell Alston & Jannie B. Shaw. During her birth, the Doctor that delivered her pulled her left arm out of place which caused nerve damage and caused it to look deformed. Connie did not let this disability(Limitation) stop her and she went on to graduate from George R. Ellis High School in Munford, Tennessee in 1969 and enroll in the DVR(Division of Vocational Rehabilitation) program to attend a special school for testing and training.


Connie later moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1971. Shortly after arriving in Milwaukee, Connie got a job at the Veterans Administration Medical Center as a clerk-typist in the Respiratory Therapy Division and worked there for 5 Years. Several years later, Connie met Wiley Williams and they had two beautiful children. Connie then returned to school to learn Computer Word Processing and in January 2000, Connie began working at Walmart as a People Greeter. In October 2004, Connie transferred her job and moved back to Tennessee(Milington, Tennessee) with her two sons. In late 2006, Connie retired from Walmart and moved back to Milwaukee, WI with her two sons. In 2007 she joined Community Care, Inc.. Connie was a member of Community Care, Inc. for 16 Years and she did the Monthly Newsletters for the Vilet Community Care location. She was also a member of Community Care, Inc. Board of Directors.


Connie enjoyed and loved cooking, music, movies and spending time with her two sons. She always had a smile on her face and enjoyed helping others when she could.


Connie departed this life on April 22nd, 2023. She leaves to mourn her passing and cherish her memory -- two sons; Lamarcus Dewayne Alston and Rodney Earl Alston both of Milwaukee, WI, one daughter-in-law; Moneque Alston of Milwaukee, WI, three sisters; Shirley Garcia, Linda Shaw and Clara Jones all of Munford, TN, one brother; Kenny Shaw of Lake Forest, CA.

OUR LOVING MOTHER

To the one who gave us life, we can give nothing but love

To the star so full of light, to the one sent from up above

Thank you for the kindness for everything you do

Thank you for the happiness, thanks for seeing us through

We love you more than anything, we'll love you to the end

You are our mother first, then our very best friend

It is unusual what we share, everything we do you know

Every beautiful quality you have in you, we try to show

Not often enough do we tell you how much you mean to Rodney & Me

Not often enough do we show you how your love set us free

To live forever and always is what we wished for you

A long life ever-lasting for one so sacred and true

You are our special angel, who we always found comfort in

Whether life is in shambles, whether we lose or whether we win

To the one who gave us life, we can give nothing but love

To the one who genuinely is sent from above

WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND MISS YOU MOM!


A PRAYER FOR MOTHERS

Dear Lord, today we pray for mothers, our own mothers, and mothers everywhere, who have made such a major contribution to the good qualities we have, sometimes through genetics, more often through great effort and patient instruction, and who have done their best to gently polish away our rough edges.


Please bless our mothers for the endless hours of time they spent and the boundless energy they invested in us. Bless our mothers for their sacrifices on our behalf as they often gave up or deferred their own dreams so that we could have ours. Bless our mothers for always being there for us, for being the person we know we can turn to when we need comfort, encouragement or just a hug. Bless our mothers for making a home for us where we could feel safe, where we felt we belonged.


Most of all, bless each and every mother for their unconditional love, for loving us no matter what, and for frequently showing love in ways that make us feel valued and cherished. Please bless our mothers mightily, strengthen them, soothe them, wrap them in your infinite love and shower them with blessings too numerous to count, too magnificent to describe. We love them, admire them, respect them. And we wish that you would give them back many times the good that they gave us. Amen.

You can to the family or in memory of CONNIE ALSTON.
