    Connie Jo Roth was born on February 11, 1964 in Jackson County, Iowa, to Neil and Mary (Schmidt) Roth. She grew up in the Quad Cites and at age 4 moved to Maquoketa, and then to Andrew where she attended school. She married Roland "Rolly" Shady on September 11, 1982 in Maquoketa, Iowa. He preceded her in death on April 6, 1985. She then married Danny Ellison in 1988.

    Connie had worked various jobs and most notably had been a cook and bartender at Bill's Tap in Maquoketa for 13 years.

    Connie enjoyed crafts, sewing and cooking. She especially loved her family and her granddaughter.

    Those left to honor her memory include her children, Brandi (and her fiancé, Zach Campbell) Shady of Maquoketa, IA, and Charles Ellison of Maquoketa, IA; a granddaughter, Hadley Campbell; sisters, Judy (Jack) Evans of Grand Mound, IA, Linda (Don) Slyers of DeWitt, IA, Becky Duffield of Chicago, IL, Susan (Leonard) Hefel of Maquoketa, IA, and Nita (and her fiancé, Dan Balichek) Bickford of Oxford Junction, IA; and a special friend Dan Riniker, Sr. of Maquoketa, IA. She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Roland "Rolly" Shady.

    Connie was a wonderful person. The first to offer help when it was needed even if she had to do without herself. She offered Sue a kidney when Sue's failed . That pretty much say's it all. She will be in our heart's forever.

    I remember the day ma Connie took me and Brandi to but our first sir mix alot cassette tape oh boy we were so excited! I don't think I will ever forget the smile on her face and the evil laugh when we cranked it up in the van on the way home, yes the evil smile was because she rolled down the windows and started singing the song VERY loud down main street oh my were we so embarrassed! Connie however had a yell that we all knew we were in trouble well except Chuck only because we had locked him in the pet taxi and tipped him upside down! All in all she was a great person (also made the best stir fry around) so will be missed by many! She could put a smile on anyone's face in a matter of seconds. RIP Ma Connie
