Connie Fay Fitzhugh Sims, 73, was born in Dallas, Texas on May 30, 1949 and passed away January 20, 2023 in Dallas, Texas.

She was preceded in death by her father, Calvin Fitzhugh; her mother, Lois Fitzhugh; her brother, Donnie Fitzhugh; and her grandson, Adam Vanantwerp.

Connie is survived by her husband, Stevie Sims; her sister, Theresa Fitzhugh Nichols; her sons, James Ray Partin and Mark Sims; her daughter, Tracy Vanantwerp; her step son, Daniel Sims and wife Gina; and her step daughter, Melissa Aultman and husband Billy. She also leaves behind her cherished grandchildren, Chloe and husband Christian, Olivia, Zachary, Todd, Katy and husband Joseph, Cody and wife Emily, Elizabeth, Jacob and wife Ashlee, Addison, and Hannah; her great grandchildren, Avery, Naomi, Benjamin, Ellie, Markiah, Charlotte, and Waylon.

She was deeply loved and will be greatly missed by all her family as well as her AAFES friends.
Connie had a deep love for reading scriptures, watching church on tv, bingo, talking on the phone and shopping. You would never catch her without her hair styled, and she sure did love her margaritas. Most importantly, she sipped on coffee every morning watching her two cardinals bounce from one tree to another. These cardinals were her angels: mother and daddy.

We would like everyone to remember Connie as a woman who was self-sacrificing, gracious, and a fighter.

Family will receive friends from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Wednesday, January 25, 2023 at Byrum Funeral Home Chapel. A celebration of Connie's life will be at 11:00am on Thursday, January 26, 2023 also in Byrum Funeral Home Chapel with interment immediately following in Edgewood Cemetery.
