Ruth Constance Meschko

MESCHKO, Ruth Constance (Connie), 91, was called home on Sunday, September 17, 2006, from Whitesboro, Texas to be with the Lord. A long-time resident of Owensboro and charter member of Lewis Lane Baptist Church, she was preceded in death by her husbands Edward T. Meschko and Karl S. White, son Walter F. Meschko, and her sister Lois Stahlman.

Connie was a joy to all who knew her. She was a very giving person and gifted artist who taught private art lessons to many Owensboro children over the years. She loved to play golf and swim. Connie spent her earlier retired years in Panama City Beach, Florida, where she always enjoyed collecting seashells in the ocean breeze. She was active in the St. Andrews Baptist Church while in Florida. In her senior years, she lived nearer to relatives in Marietta, GA and Whitesboro, TX. Wherever she was, she blessed the lives of the many friends she made.

Funeral services will be 10:00 am, Saturday, September 23, 2006, at the Glenn Funeral Home. Visitation will be from 5:00 pm 8:00 pm, Friday, September 22, 2006.
