Journal entry by Kathy Bouten —
Conny BeVier Bouten age 67, of Minneapolis, passed away at home, surrounded by family and friends on the evening of September 17, 2019, after a courageous battle with Multiple Systems Atrophy (MSA). She never complained and never gave up. Born and raised in Minneapolis, she was a graduate of Southwest High School. At Southwest she was a proud member of the Indianettes dance line. After high school Conny attended college before beginning her 40 year career as a flight attendant with North Central Airlines, Republic, Northwest and then retired from Delta in 2012. During her career, she flew approximately 14 million miles (560 times around the earth, or about 30 times to the moon and back). Conny married Bob Bouten on October 17, 1980. Together they raised two children and many, many cats. Conny enjoyed spending time at the cabin in Wisconsin and the condo in Florida. However her favorite time was when her family gathered together, including many gatherings at their family homes in Bloomington and Eden Prairie. Conny was a passionate person. She loved helping and caring for people and animals of all kinds. She was known for her generosity, infectious laugh, and being a loyal friend and employee. Conny was an inspiration to all and will be missed deeply.
