CONNIE JO (LARSEN) TAYLOR, 66 of Grant, passed away Tuesday, February 13, 2018, at Great Plains Health in North Platte.

Connie was known, and admired by her family, for her strong work ethic. She had an earthy sense of humor that made her approachable. Connie also had a notable stubbornness that fed her independent spirit. She loved to shoot pool and play KENO. Connie had been active in pool league for many years.
Connie was an avid gardener and she loved sewing items for her grandchildren. Connie had a unique ability to figure things out in order to fix things that others deemed useless.
Connie was preceded in death by her father, Keith Larsen; longtime friend, Steve Hansmeier; along with her grandparents, Lawrence & Florence Larsen and Leroy & Clarice Shuey.
