Obituary

OREGON - Connie R. Stace, age 87, passed away on May 30th, 2026, at Sienna Crest Assisted Living in Oregon, WI. He was born December 25, 1938, the son of Florence and Raymond Stace. He married Barb Monson on February 18, 1961, and together they had four children. After Barb’s passing, Connie began a new chapter with Trudy Hart. Connie and Trudy married on August 7, 2004.  


Connie worked at Wingra Redi-Mix for many years, retiring in 1995. Connie attended many sporting events for his children and grandchildren, sometimes even coaching. He enjoyed traveling around with Trudy for her business, spending time with family and looked forward to the countless hours of coffee clutch with friends. Going for drives, gardening, raising cattle and renting bulls also kept him quite busy.


Connie was preceded in death by his parents, Florence and Raymond Stace; his wife, Barb; his mother-in-law, Florence Monson; father-in-law, Harvey Monson; and brother-in-law, Gordon Hart.


Connie is survived by his wife, Trudy; his daughters, Sue Stace, Carol Stace (Laura Townsend) and Pam Stace (Brian Haas); son, Steve (Linda) Stace; grandchildren, JT (Melissa) Porter, Ryan (Dianna) Stace , Breanna (Jordan) Kratz , Liliana Maier Hanusiak (Martin); great-grandchildren, Brinley, Braxton and Cashton Porter, Nevin and Shaw Stace and Cadance and Kinzie Kratz; sister-in-law, Nancy Hart;  nieces, Robin (John) Kneebone and Darcy (Doug) Clary; and nephew, Barry (Penny) Hart.


The family is grateful to Sienna Crest Assisted Living staff and Agrace HospiceCare, especially Jaimie at Agrace for taking such amazing care of Connie.


Per Connie’s wishes, there will be a private burial at Graves Cemetery, Brooklyn Wis. You may be gone but never forgotten.

My most sincere sympathies to the entire family of Connie ( Big C) Stace. I am so sorry to hear the news of his passing. Big C was just a great guy. I had so many great laughs with him back in the day. His Family meant the world to him. He would always be at any sporting event his kids and Grandkids were involved in. I always looked forward to talking to him. I haven’t seen him in quite a while but the memories of his vice like handshake and big pat on the back and his wonderful laugh just came back into my head.So sorry for your loss. Just a really good man and friend. I hope it is of some comfort to all of you to know he was liked and respected by so many of us ! RIP BIG C. Respectfully , Jim Snow.
