Connie Rucker Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Connie Rucker of Galesburg, Illinois, whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on January 14, 2026 at the age of 80. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Connie Rucker to pay them a last tribute.
As Connie departs from this earthly realm, her essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Connie may no longer walk beside us, her spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Connie leaves behind.
She was predeceased by: her parents, L. Clark White and Vera M. White (Randall); her spouse Dale K. Rucker; and her brother Edward C. White. She is survived by: her daughters, Shelley Burn (Rob) of Peoria and Stacey Rucker; and her grandchildren, Lauren Burn and Logan Burn.
