Obituary
Connie Kay Domeier was born on October 20, 1948, in Storm Lake, Iowa. She was the daughter of Harold and Doretta (Pratt) Tevepaugh. Connie was baptized as an infant and was later confirmed in her faith. She received her education in Lake City, Iowa, and was a graduate of the Lake City High School Class of 1967. She furthered her education at the Minnesota School of Business.
On April 25, 1970, Connie was united in marriage to Ted Domeier. Their marriage was blessed with three children. Together they owned the Fairfax Agency and worked beside each other for more than 43 years. They also cherished many years of family time at their cabin on Lake Koronis. Connie would most likely be found on the deck indulging in a good book soaking up the sun. They also took delight in being “snow birds” and enjoyed some of the winter months in Arizona. Connie and Ted shared 43 years of marriage before Ted passed away in 2014.
Connie was a member of St. Andrew’s Catholic Church in Fairfax and was the treasurer for the Catholic Aide.
Connie treasured her 10 grandchildren and was a big supporter of their sporting events. She could often be found cheering them on from the playing fields and gyms. She was always proud of her grandchildren’s beauty and a good shopping trip meant new outfits to glorify their beauty. She’d love the smiles and excitement on their faces as they’d model each item, she so graciously gave them. She always showed them much love and filled their hearts with sweet memories.
Connie will always be remembered for her caring heart and warm embrace. Her pleasant personality was contagious to everyone she met and she will be missed dearly.
Connie passed away on October 18, 2021, at the age of 72, after a short but courageous battle with cancer. She was surrounded by loved ones who will continue to honor her legacy of living life to the fullest. Blessed be her memory.

Our dear family of Ted and Connie,
You are surely grieving the death of your Mom as well as Dad now! sister and brother, aunt and uncle, friends of so many and recipients of their wonderful presence in the Fairfax conmmunity and churches! What does one say to comfort those left behind? for me, the words of St. John Chrysostom always help: “If we lose someone we love, they are no longer where they were before; they are NOW wherever we are”. I am praying for that truth to be realized in each of you,
Love,
S. Renee Domeier, OSB

As a childhood friend of Connie’s, I can feel your great loss. She was always fun, always talking. I hope your good memories of Connie will be a comfort to you.

I remember walking home with Connie and waiting on her porch while she would ask if she could play. Usually she had things her mom needed done and I would leave . Connie was a good friend . I am sure her family will miss her.

I’ve just learned, quite by accident, of Connie’s passing and am at a loss for words. She was kind to her core and like her husband Ted, always one to reach out with that same kindness. I’ve appreciated her messages over the years, and trust that her immediate and extended family are helping one another through this loss. Christmas just received another angel.
