Connie was born in Libertyville, IL, grew up in Friendship, WI & graduated from Adams-Friendship High School in 1973. Connie made her move to the Roaring Fork Valley in 1982 where she worked in the front office of The Aspen Times for 5 years.

She was married to her loving husband, Mike, for 34 years & they raised one daughter, Emma. In the early 2000’s, she worked and is fondly remembered as Basalt Elementary School’s favorite Kitchen Manager/Lunch Lady. She always had a passion for helping (and feeding) others & was active in the valley’s extended table program.

Connie is survived by her mother Lucille Mathe, husband Mike Hepfinger, daughter Emma Esparza, sisters Marcia Wysocky & Carol Nemiec, and brothers Howard & Curt Mathe. She was preceded in death by her father Clarence Mathe & brother Mark Pollock.
