Connie A. Mattingly, loving mother, grandmother and sister, age 74 of Mount Gilead passed away Sunday, March 22, 2026, at Marion General Hospital. She was born on February 20, 1952, in San Diego, CA. to the late C.A. "Pete" and R. "Karliene" (Abshier) Spradlin.
Connie was a graduate of East High School in Cheyenne, Wyoming. She went on to receive her associate's degree from Alvin Community in Houston, Texas and her bachelor's degree from Oklahoma Baptist University. She dedicated much of her career to serving others as a registered nurse and diabetic educator at Morrow County Hospital, where she was honored as a 2014 Albert E. Dyckes Health Care Worker of the Year nominee. She served on the Relay for Life Committee for Morrow County, drawing from her own strength and experience as a cancer survivor to support and inspire others.
Connie's family meant everything to her, and she cherished every moment spent with them. She took great joy in supporting her children and grandchildren, always showing up with love, encouragement, and pride in all that they did. In her free time, Connie enjoyed antiquing, camping and gardening.
On May 25, 2002, Connie married Ory Richard "Rich" Mattingly, and he survives in Mount Gilead.
In addition to her husband, Connie is survived by her two sons: Cameron (Sarah) Hansen of Delaware and Colin (Katie) Hansen of Cardington; four grandchildren: Ian, Gabe, Kaylee and Ellee; her sister Brenda (Richard) Jagger of Ardmore, OK.
