Long-time resident of Tillamook County, Connie Jo Gaston, passed away September 4th, 2024.
It would be foolish to try to describe Connie or her life through one set of eyes. She was a free-spirited, kind and loving person who touched the hearts of all who knew her.
Connie had a deep love for her family and friends and enjoyed spending quality time with them more than anything. She was fond of cooking and music, she greatly loved snorkeling in the sparkling island waters of Hawaii, where she spent many wonderful vacations.
It is said that Connie had a personality that would light up a room the moment she entered. She will be sorely missed by all. Though she was preceded in death by her husband and the love of her life, Scott Dunlap, she leaves behind sisters Vonnie, Teresa and Sarah; brothers Jack, Rick and Steve; Children Melissa, Shylla, Shannon, Scotty, Gini and Angie, and too many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and other family to name, but they know who they are!
A celebration of life is scheduled for 3pm Saturday, September 21st, on the beach, at the end of Portland Avenue in Manzanita. Please join us in honoring her memory.
