Louise "Vicky" Connell

Connell, Louise A. (Vicky) Bryan Dumler 1927-2021

“I am on a journey to a new challenge to be in the arms of my constant companion, my armchair, with my family close by.  Leaving my memories to my beloved daughter and best friend, Helyn (Lyn) Stoner along with memories of my deceased son, Larry Bryan.”

Vicky’s family was always her number one priority. Born and raised in Flint, residing mostly in Linden. Her home on Lobdell Lake was the center for family gatherings.  She was a lover of life, dancing and socializing and it showed through her volunteer work at Loose, her contributions and time helping the homeless, making blankets and her famous satin pillow cases.

Survived by her loving daughter Lyn (Dan) Stoner, 5 Grandchildren, Julie (Bob) Schafer, Jennifer Guinaldo, Paul (Suha) Stoner, Bryan (Danette) Stoner and Kevin (Nicole) Stoner as well as her great grandchildren Sage, Lilliana Louise, Luke, Nathan, Elliott, Celia Louise, Owen and Wrigley Rose.

Vicky, the youngest of 12 children to immigrant parents from Moscow, Russia.  Her siblings all deceased, Carl, Jacob, Phillip, Anne, Irene, Christine, Paul, Rose.

In lieu of flowers Vicky requested donations be made to Loose Senior Center or Humane Society.

Thank you to hospice for all their kind and caring help.

“To all my friends, we had some good times. I’m sorry I didn’t make the stairway to my last toast with my friends at Crows Nest; so heres my toast to you now:
May we live 100 years and I one less a day so that I may never know that you have passed away.
Auf Wiedersehen Vicky”
