Connie was born November 9, 1959 in Rupert Falls, Idaho to Samuel and Mary McAnear. She grew up in Clarendon and was a graduate of Clarendon High School. She started working as secretary at the Texas Saddlery, before starting a 30 plus year career taking care of “her boys” as secretary at the Dept. of Public Safety, until her retirement in 2015.

She was a resident of Clarendon for most of her life, until she married the love of her life Tony Sparks on Aug. 25th 2007. They enjoyed the beginning of their life together in Clarendon before moving to the 6666 Ranch near Borger, Texas.

There she became a full time ranch wife and eventually began cooking for the cowboys and sewing for the 6666 Supply Store in Guthrie, Texas.

Connie and Tony recently moved back to Clarendon to sit back and begin enjoying the retired life.

Connie had lots of hobbies through the years. She loved to crochet and cross stitch, she loved to sew and quilt for family and friends from young to old. She loved being in the kitchen cooking meals for family and was excited to get back to cooking for her church family. Connie was a bright light to everyone and a beacon to more people than she could ever comprehend, her smile and kindness will be missed by many.
