Connie Politte

Connie Diann Politte, age 67, passed away Nov. 29, 2020 due to COVID-19 complications. 

She was born August 31, 1953 in St. Louis, Missouri, to Jimma and James McMinn. Connie loved life and never met a stranger. She had a wonderful impact on all those she met. Her kindness and love were unconditional. For many years, Connie worked at different factory jobs. She was a very hard worker. She truly believed in the saying “Do what’s good, and be kind and help others.”

Connie is survived by two daughters, Dawn (Adam) Grindstaff and Heather (Daniel) Barnett; three sisters: Theresa Penrod, Debbie Silvia, and Lisa McMinn; grandchildren, Dean Barnett, Liam Grindstaff, Aubrey Guzman, Landen Guzman, Avery Grindstaff, Aidan Grindstaff, Andrew Ritrovato, Amber Ritrovato, and Anthony Ritrovato; and many nieces and nephews. All of these she loved deeply.

She was preceded in death by her eldest son, Frank Ritrovato; her parents; her brother, Randy McMinn; and a sister, Linda McMinn.

We will be celebrating her life on a date to be determined.

All arrangements were under the care of the Eaton Funeral Home, Sullivan, MO.
