With heavy hearts and fond memories, we share that Constance "Connie" May Klein, 87, of Cedar Rapids, passed away peacefully on Saturday, September 27, 2025.

Born August 29, 1938, in Hopkinton, Iowa, Connie lived a life full of love, laughter, and determination. She married the love of her life, Del Klein, and together they shared 52 years of marriage until his passing.

Connie's infectious laugh, generous spirit, and unstoppable energy made her unforgettable. Her greatest joy was found in the company of family and friends. To her grandchildren, she'll forever be remembered by the sweet scent of frosting—Connie was a gifted cake decorator—and the comforting aroma of pies fresh from her oven. Her green thumb kept her gardens bursting with color, and she found peace along trout streams with a fishing pole in hand.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Del, and her sons Randy, Anthony "Moe," and Tracy.

Connie's memory lives on through her son Dan (Sara) Klein, her daughter Laura (Jeff Lynge) Evans, ten grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren, each of whom carries a piece of her boundless love.

As per Connie's wishes private family services will be held.
