Connie Gay Ayala

Connie Gay Ayala, aged 80, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 26, 2025, in Springtown, surrounded by her family. Born on November 24, 1944, in Platte, Missouri, she was the beloved daughter of John Wright and Margie (Berry) Wright.

Connie had a delightful passion for collecting pigs and found joy in working puzzles, activities that brought her peace and contentment. She leaves behind sons Robert Ayala and his wife Darla, Ramon Ayala and his wife Mariea, along with grandchildren Ramon III, Victor, Shyann, Xavier, and Robert Jr., and three great-grandchildren. Her extended family and friends will carry her memory in their hearts forever.
