December 23, 1924 – March 21, 2021

It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of May (Maisie) Connon.

Born in Winnipeg, May was one of six children to Jack and Mary Cromb. Her family moved to Vancouver when she was 14 years.

During WW2 May did her part by working for Boeing helping to assemble planes. In November 1943 May enlisted with the Canadian Women’s Army Corp.

It would be in 1945 that May met the love of her life Jim Connon whom she affectionately always referred to as Connie. May and Jim were married on November 5th 1949. In 1968 the couple along with their two children moved to Kamloops where they would make many friends and entertain at their home on Desmond Street especially around the pool in the summertime.

May is survived by her daughter Shannon of Vancouver, son Tim of Surrey, sister Pearl Dombrosky of Burnaby as well as many nieces, nephews and friends including her dear friend Anne Tjader of Kamloops. May was predeceased by her husband Jim, parents, brothers and one sister.

A big thank you to the wonderful staff at Ridgeview Lodge for making sure that May’s remaining years were as comfortable as possible.

No service by request.

You may leave a message for the family by visiting First Memorial Funeral Services.
