Constance Margaret “Connie” Nowlin of Cantonment, Florida, beloved mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, entered through the garden gate to join her loving husband, Bob, on Sunday morning, June 13, 2010. Connie was 86 years young as her loving family surrounded her upon her departure.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Robert S. “Bob” Nowlin; mother, Ruth McCarthy and son, Richard L. “Dick” Nowlin. Connie is survived by her children, James “Pancho” Nowlin (Kathy), Ed Nowlin (Marcia), Robert Louis Nowlin, (Linda) all of Pensacola; Robert S. “Rob” Nowlin of Jay; Bobbie Jean Marcus (Gene) of Colorado; Connie Ellen Burcham (Mike) of the U.S. Mountain West; and Ruth Aubrey (Roger) of Spanish Fort, AL; two sisters, Alice Marshall of St. Augustine, FL and Lillian Stark of New Jersey; brother-in-law, Charles Nowlin of Panama City, FL; 16 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

A native of New Jersey, Connie resided in the Pensacola area for the past 64 years. As a young lady, she and her sisters loved to travel to New York City to listen to the bands of the day, including Glen Miller, Tommy Dorsey and Frank Sinatra. She was a member of Gonzalez United Methodist Church and had worked for St. Regis Paper Company and Howard Johnson’s. She enjoyed traveling and gardening and was an avid nature and animal lover, but gained her greatest joys from her family, especially the little children.

The family will receive friends at Pine Forest United Methodist Church, 2800 Wilde Lake Blvd., in Pensacola on Thursday evening, June 17, 2010 from 5:30 pm until the 7:00 pm Memorial Service.
