Connie Dayton

Connie Dayton, age 72, died peacefully in Gulf Breeze, Fla., on June 6, 2023.

Connie was a lifetime resident of Wisconsin, born in Port Washington and moving to Belgium, Wis., in 2000.

Connie retired from Rexnord Corp. after 43 years and enjoyed her time working in her yard, crafting and being with her best friend and life companion RockC.

She enjoyed going to Florida, walking the beach, collecting shells, bonfires and listening to reggae and country music. Trips to Biloxi, Miss., to the casino and to New Orleans to go on ghost tours are among some of the highlights she loved.

Connie was a huge animal lover and supported and helped her sister with an endless supply of shelter dogs and cats that were fostered. Her greatest joy was to shower them with love and endless treats.

She will be greatly missed not only by her family and friends but the animals that were touched by her compassion.

She was preceded in death by her parents Spencer and LaVerne Dayton.

Connie is survived by her loyal companion RockC; her brother Ron (Sue) Dayton  of Port Washington; her sister Bonnie (Phil) Lemmens of Forestville, Wis.; brother Don Dayton of Wisconsin; sister Patti Goodfleisch of Gulf Breeze, Fla.; and brother Russ (Donna) Dayton of Huntsville, Ala.

She is also survived by many nieces, nephews and cousins.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
