Connie Gordon, 62, of Idaho Falls, passed away Tuesday, February 18, 2020, at Idaho Falls Community Hospital from influenza.

Connie was born on August 4, 1957, to George Henry and Deloris Murphy Champ in Norfolk, Virginia. She grew up in Virginia.

She was an antique and jewelry collector. She loved beautiful things and was always there for others. She had the biggest heart and the kindest soul. She was a very humble and loving person who always put her family and friends even strangers before herself. Connie was a great friend, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and partner. She had a strong love for God and always had faith that all would be right. She was a great listener, problem solver, giver, and nurturer. She had great compassion also for animals and her heart belonged so dearly to her dog 'Little Bit the Great' who was always by her side.

Connie was a genuine soul that will be forever missed but never forgotten by those lucky enough to know her.

She is survived by her life partner, John A. Hogarth of Idaho Falls, ID; her daughter, Nichole J. Miller of Idaho Falls, ID; her brothers: Duke (Linda) Champ of Liberty, KY and Doug (Brenda) Champ of Hobbsville, NC; her sisters: Sereda (Larry) Lewis of Chesapeake, VA, Mary (Benjamin) Smith of Chesapeake, VA, and April Champ Elliot of Moyek, NC; 3 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild; and 19 nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, a child, and her grandparents.
