Connie passed away peacefully on Friday, March 10, 2017 at her home, in the bed she loved, with Alan by her side.


Connie Louise Hull was born December 9, 1946 to Dale and Ella (Palmer) Hull in Fargo, ND.  She grew up on a farm near Ayr, ND.  She attended school in town and graduated from Ayr High School.  After several years of college at the University of North Dakota, Connie took a job in Carson, ND with the soil conservation district.  It was here where Connie met Alan Woodbury, and the two were united in marriage on November 27, 1965 in Ayr.  They moved to Fargo where they lived in married student housing while Alan attended school, and Connie worked for the Soil Conservation Distirct.  They later moved to Dickinson where they made their home ever since.  It was here where they raised their family of four children.


Connie worked with Alan at Woody’s Feed & Grain for 12 years before taking on her most cherished role of wife, mother and grandmother.  She worked part time at Herberger’s for several years, where Connie enjoyed selling shoes.


Her greatest joy in life was getting together with her beloved family and following her children and grandchildren in their activities.  Holidays were Connie’s favorite time of year, and she took pride in organizing her family’s events. Connie enjoyed baking, especially delicious sweets.


Connie enjoyed the Coffee Club she was involved in for many years and treasured the friendships that she made there.  Connie loved to travel and was willing to fly anywhere.  She enjoyed going out to dinner with Alan.  Connie was an avid shopper, especially for Christmas presents and shoes.  When her health kept her in, she became an expert at online shopping as well.


In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorials be given in care of the Connie Woodbury Memorial at CHI St. Alexius Health, Dickinson, foundation or First Congregational Church, Dickinson, in care of Connie Woodbury.
