Konnie Lynne Wolfenden-Hodges, age 53, of Torrington, Wyoming died on February 24, 2021 at Nebraska Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska surrounded by her family.
She was born on May 5, 1967 to Robert and Karen (Daniels) Wolfenden in Mullen, Nebraska. Konnie was the middle child of three girls. Konnie attended all of her years of school in Mullen and later graduated from Joseph's Beauty School in North Platte, Nebraska.
She married Clinton Hodges on May 4, 1996 in North Platte. They were married for 17 years and had one child, Colton Robert Hodges.
Konnie was a very talented Cosmetologist for 34 years and was well known in the community for her skills, especially coloring hair. She had a very large clientele and if you were one of her clients, you knew you were going to have to book way in advance. She took great pride in helping people feel food about themselves through the art of hair and fashion. She co-owned THISTLE & Feather Boutique and was really in her element any time she could style a customer. When customers came into the booth they were instantaneously in love with her infectious personality and smile. She was loved by so many!!
Konnie had many roles, but her favorite was being a proud mom to Colton. She enjoyed her time watching Colton participate in many activities throughout his years in school. People never had to question who she was cheering on at all of his sporting events and you could always count on her being decked out in the school colors from head to toe. One of her most proud moments was watching her son graduated from high school. She always knew he would do big things and has always been proud of the man she raised.
Other roles she loved were being a sister and aunt. She loved being the middle sister and was always so happy to have any quality time she could with her sisters, Kaylen and Kellie. Although she was the middle one, she would never hesitate with telling people she was the youngest. She also was proud aunt to her nieces and nephews. She treated them all like they were her own and supported them in anything they were doing. She loved staying busy going to everyone's activities and cheering them on....the loudest!
Konnie will be remembered as an amazing mom, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She loved with her whole heart. She had an amazing strength to her and that was evident even in her last breath. She knew where her strength came from and never hesitated in sharing her testimony of the amazing grace of God.
Konnie was preceded in death by her parents; grandparents, Dale (Dappy) & Fern (Grammy) Daniels and Warren & Eunice Wolfenden; as well as many aunts and uncles.
She will be greatly missed and is survived by her son, Colton Robert; sisters Kaylen Wolfenden and Kellie Wolfenden-Barner; nieces and nephews, Linsei (Derrick), Lacelei, Laramei (Kaden), Kaydei, DJ, Braxten, and Aleiya; and a very special person she loved, Dave Bradley; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
