Connie Lawson

1954 ~ 2016

It is with sadness we announce Connie Lawson fought her last round with cancer on Friday, February 5, 2016. Her body has lost, but her soul triumphs through Jesus Christ, her Saviour, whom she loved and served wholeheartedly. Since receiving a lung cancer diagnosis in April 2015, Connie faced her illness with grace and courage, fiercely holding on to Philippians 1:21 “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”

Besides her loving husband Ian, Connie is survived by her children Adam (Krista) Lawson, and their children Jayden, and Nevaeh; Rebekah (Dwaine) Giesbrecht, and their children Hannah, Kenya, Mercedes, Marcus, and William; Benjamin (Kristen) Lawson, and their children Kalia, and Jace; Rachel (Ryan) Buhr, and children Grace, Olivia, and Adelynn; and Ruth (Luke) Watson.

Connie was predeceased by her brother Leslie Chester Teterud; daughter Hannah Margaret Lawson; parents: Morris / Dorothy Teterud; and grandsons Liam Ian Wayne Buhr and Jaxton James Lawson
