In Memory

Connie Mouritsen (Wilcox) - Class of 1949 VIEW PROFILE

Our beautiful, amazing mother, grandmother, wife, sister, aunt, and dear friend Connie Mouritsen Wilcox sadly passed away on August 24, 2017 in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was born August 21, 1931 to Homer Mouritsen and June Caldwell in Bennington, Idaho. She moved to Salt Lake City, Utah where she met our father Herbert Gerard Wilcox and they were married for 58 years in the Salt Lake City Temple. They had six beautiful children, ten adorable grandchildren, and four great grandkids with one on the way.

Connie always lived her life through her art and to the fullest. She always went out of her way to meet someone and make them feel very special in an uplifting positive way. She has faced many tragedies in her lifetime something no mother should have to go through. It comforts us to know that she is back with her husband Herbert Wilcox, sons, David and Richard Wilcox a daughter Nancy Wilcox and a granddaughter Jennifer Wilcox. She leaves behind a brother Russell and his wife Kathleen Mouritsen, a sister in law Georgia Mouritsen, sons Thomas and James Wilcox a daughter Susie and her husband Darrin Nelson and a daughter in law Connie Jean Wilcox along with nine grandchildren, and many wonderful nieces and nephews.

Memorial services for Connie will be held on Wednesday, September 6, 2017 at 11:00 A.M. in her church located at Little Cottonwood 14th Ward at 1160 E. Vine Street.

Connie's Family:  I was in complete shock when Norinne Teuscher Kunz called to let me know the news that Connie had died.  I even tried calling Connie's cell phone to verify that she was still alive [hoping that the news was wrong]--only her sweet voice and "leave a message".  Norinne even called her sister, Doris, to make sure the news was correct, and, sadly, it was.  Connie and I had exchanged phone calls just the week before because her birthday is just two days after mine and we had a long conversation about our lives, her wonderful art show, her wonderful children. She said her pacemaker was doing its job and she felt good.  I'm still trying to process the emptiness I feel that she is gone. Connie painted a big picture of Iris flowers after I came to Mesa to take care of my Aunt Iris, so I have a beautiful reminder of her that I can look at whenever I want.  She will stay forever in my heart.  During the years Connie and Herb lived in Arizona, we had some good reunions with them, Norinne & Blaine Kunz, and Betty and Box Jack. Lots of good memories. Dorthea Swensen Kendall
