Connie Boggs, age 66, of Olive Hill, Kentucky, passed away on January 4, 2026, at UK King’s Daughters Medical Center in Ashland, Kentucky.
She was born July 20, 1959, in Carter County, Kentucky, a beloved daughter of the late Thurman Boggs and Maxine Bryant Boggs.
In addition to her parents, Thurman and Maxine Boggs, Connie was preceded in death by her brother, Carl Boggs, and her sister, Carolyn Louise Lawson.
Connie was one of the most caring and genuine people you could ever meet. She had a servant’s heart and spent her life taking care of others. While she was incredibly kind and loving, Connie was also strong-willed and stood her ground when needed a trait those close to her admired and respected.
She was an amazing cook and loved preparing meals for her family, a way she showed love better than words ever could. Although Connie was not a grandmother by title, she treated her nieces and nephews as if they were her own children and grandchildren, and many of them saw her exactly that way.
Connie worked for many years as a seamstress at Cintas, where she eventually retired. Through her work, she formed lifelong friendships — a true testament to the kind of person she was. Those friendships remained strong well beyond her working years.
Connie also took great pride in honoring her family’s history. She devoted much of her time to preserving the memory and legacy of her parents, Thurman and Maxine Boggs, ensuring their lives were remembered with care, dignity, and love.
She is survived by her sisters, Cathy Hanshaw (Dave Campbell) of Olive Hill, Kentucky, who—alongside Xenia Marshall—lovingly cared for Connie in her final days; Charlene Ratcliff of Ashland, Kentucky; and Dana Riffe of Russell, Kentucky; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever cherish her memory.
Funeral services will be held at 12 noon, Thursday, January 8, 2026, at Globe Funeral Chapel, 17277 West U.S. Hwy 60, Olive Hill, Kentucky, with Brother Mike Bryant officiating. Burial will follow in Boggs Cemetery in Grahn, Kentucky.
Friends may visit after 11 a.m. Thursday until the service hour at Globe Funeral Chapel.
Devin Hanshaw, Dave Campbell, Xaver Marshall, Xenia Marshall, Atreyu Arthur, and Thomas Breedon will serve as pallbearers.
Connie will be remembered for her warmth, her strength, her generosity, and the love she freely gave to so many. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her legacy of care, devotion, and remembrance will live on.
