"Auntie Connie" was one of the reason why my childhood was filled with some many happy days. I spent countless days at her house playing with, Shallia, Larry, Tericheal, and Suzclaudia. The Rutledge home was/is my "Home away from Home." Granny laid a solid foundation of God and LOVE for all of us, and her children/grand children never deviated from it. I always found comfort, inspiration, and love in the words that Auntie Connie spoke to me....that is why she will remain a permanent fixture in my heart. May this family allow God to be a Comforter for them during this difficult time. I love you guy!

My deepest sympathy for you and your family may god continue to bless you amen.The Thomas family

"Wherever a Beautiful soul has been, there will always be a trail of memories" My Sincere Condolences...!!!

Rip love you.Laura.

Rest in Peace Sweet Friend.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
