Connie McDavid Obituary
Connie was born on May 27, 1957 in Evanston, IL. She graduated from Indiana University in 1982 with a degree in Art, where she met her husband Tom McDavid. They were married in 1984. Connie was steadfast in her love for God and service to the Catholic Church. As a parishioner of St. Joan of Arc and later St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Carmel, IN, she devoted her time and talents to active community involvement.
Connie was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 1989. She broke records for longevity, far surpassing expectations and medical precedent. Connie battled cancer while raising two daughters and serving as class mom, Girl Scout leader, religious education teacher, and facilitator at The Wellness Community, counseling cancer patients in need of support groups. Her life was characterized by her tenacity and compassion.
She is survived by her husband of 35 years, D. Thomas McDavid of Summerville, SC., her daughters and their spouses, Kathleen (Jeff) Muthig of Columbia, SC and Catie (Taylor) McDavid of Munich, Germany; her mother, Kathleen Riegel Dubis and her sister and brother-in-law, Patti (Dan) Daily of McDonald, PA; and her grandsons, Wick and JP Muthig. She will be missed by her sister and brother in-laws, nieces and nephews, and extended family. Connie was preceded in death by her father, Stanley Riegel, her in-laws, Robert and Maryalyce McDavid, and her sister-in-law, Eileen McDavid.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend her Funeral Mass on Friday, July 3, 2020 at St. John the Beloved Catholic Church in Summerville, SC, where Connie was a member. Rite of Committal with Final Commendation will be held in Dorchester Memorial Gardens in Summerville.

Dear Tom and the girls, I really miss Connie. For Tom: I dropped my phone in Geist Lake so I lost all my contacts. Please text me. 317-690-1047. Dear Katie and Kathleen, you had a wonderful mother whom I miss all the time. Please know I loved her and you too. Unfortunately I never got to say goodbye to Connie my friend. She was very important to me. I only have a few very close friends and she was one of them. Remember I think of her all the time. Tell your dad I loved her and I love your whole family, love, Charlene McDetmott,

Connie was an inspiration to all. Did anyone ever see her without a smile on her face? She will be missed. Working with Connie at St. Johns is a cherished memory.
