Connie Mae Strickland James, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother passed peacefully from earth to heaven on January 8th, 2013. She lived a life defined by faith; a life filled with love of God and family. Born April 13th, 1923 to Nettie and Charlie Strickland, she began life in Calhoun County, living in the Hampton area through her teenage years. Her childhood sweetheart, Morris Rodolph James, became her loving, devoted husband and together they lived and raised their family in nearby Camden, in Ouachita County.

Connie’s faith in God and her love of her church and church family were the central focus in her life. She and Morris faithfully attended Cullendale Assembly of God Church in Camden. There, they made many lifelong friends and eternal memories of adventures shared along the way. They spent seventy-one years together as husband and wife, being blessed with good health into their mid-eighties, they were able to enjoy their grandchildren and both lived to see the births of their great grandchildren.

Known as Mamaw by her grandchildren and great grandchildren, we always knew that there was a warm hug and something sweet to eat anytime we came to visit. We will miss our Mamaw, but we count ourselves as some of the lucky few that got a chance to know their grandparents well. Memories of camping trips and fishing holes, flocked Christmas trees and winter snows will still bring a smile as the years go by.

After eighty-nine years of faith on earth, she is now at home, at peace, at rest; reunited with all of her family that has preceded her, and in the presence of her God. Well done, thou good and faithful servant.

Proctor Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangemements. The family will receive friends at the funeral home 10:00 to 11:00 Friday, January 11, 2013. Services will be 11:00 Friday at the funeral home.
