(Nysveen) Kendall, 96 August 8, 1922 ~ July 2, 2019 Constance was born August 8, 1922 to Gustave and Albertina (Haugan) Nysveen on a farm near Volin, South Dakota.

Her favorite sport in grade school was playing softball and always played as catcher. She was always able to catch the fast balls bare handed.

In the fall of 1940, Connie was the fifth runner up in the Harvest Queen Contest sponsored by the merchants in Yankton.

For many years, Connie was a wedding receptionist at Trinity Lutheran and chairmen of Naomi Circle for many years.
