Constance G. Bisonette, age 58, of Hayward, WI, died unexpectedly Sunday, July 4, 2021 at her home.

Constance “Connie” Gale Coerber entered this world February 2, 1963 in 29 Palms, CA, the daughter of Richard and Georgia (Jackson) Coerber.

Connie grew up in Lake Elmo, Minnesota and later Carefree, AZ. She was an exceptional high school athlete setting a record in the high jump. At the age of 18, Connie moved to Clarksville, Tennessee to join her middle school sweetheart stationed at the U.S. Army base in Fort Campbell Kentucky.

On March 13, 1981, Connie married her soulmate, love of her life, best friend and eternal partner, Brian Bisonette. Through this union of 28 years, three children were born and their family life began.

Connie worked for the Lac Courte Oreilles Tribal Government for over 20 years in human service capacities. Her work and dedication to the Lac Courte Oreilles community assisted countless children and families and continue to do so today with practices she implemented during her career. Throughout her career, Connie was able to use her incredible intelligence and compassion to help the Tribal community to which she so dearly loved.

She was the epitome of selflessness, a loving mother and dedicated wife. A mom who worked full time but made a point to make breakfast for her family every morning and dinner every night. A mom and woman who always cared so deeply for others and said I love you. A grandma who took the time to pick the perfect gifts for her grandchildren. A daughter who always checked on her mom. A friend who always cared. She had the strength to endure several hardships throughout her life but always remained grateful for good things both big and small. She was able to recognize the beauty in simple things and expressed her gratitude for blessings each day.

Connie was fiercely loyal and if you were lucky enough to have her in your corner it meant you had a forever ally, protector, guardian, humble listener, a shoulder to cry on, a warm hand to hold, an amazing storyteller, a teacher and a genuine good soul in your life. What a blessing to those fortunate enough to have been known and loved by this wonderful woman we called mom, wife, grandma, daughter, sister, aunt, friend. We love you an will profoundly miss you.

She is survived by her husband of 28 years and best friend since she was 12, Brian Bisonette, Mother Georgia Jackson, son Jacob (Sunnie) Bisonette, daughters Megan Bisonette (Julian) and Katie Bisonette; grandchildren Robert, Isabella, Laila, Lacey and Cameron; Brother Ross (Dawn) Coerber; nieces and nephews.

Connie was preceded in death by her father Richard Coerber, paternal grandfather Carl Coerber, maternal grandfather William Jackson and maternal grandmother Lila Jackson.

A private family service was held on July 8, 2021, with our beloved mother being laid to rest at the Whitefish Presbyterian Cemetery in Stone Lake, Wisconsin.

Honorary bearers will be Brian Bisonette, Jacob Bisonette, Mark Bisonette Jr., Cameron Quaderer, Andrew Quaderer, Robert Sander.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to help a stranger without expectation of thanks, enjoy the simple feeling of a breeze blowing on a sunny day, watch a butterfly swirl in the grass, reconnect with a friend and enjoy each and everyday with your loved ones for we never know how many days we have. Don’t forget to enjoy a good Reba song from time to time either.
