WINSLOW – Connie Huard 78, passed away peacefully on Tuesday August 15, 2023, after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.

She was born in Waterville, Maine on Sept. 5, 1944, the daughter of Harold and Joan York. Connie graduated from Waterville High School.

Mrs. Huard, as she was known by many, dedicated her life to the Huard’s Martial Arts dojo in Winslow and for 55 years was an anchor and sparkling light for us all. She touched so many lives and was truly loved by the many past and present students at the school.

Connie loved animals and had three wonderful Miniature Schnauzer’s over a span of 55 years. She was an excellent gardener and you’d almost always see in wearing red, which was her favorite color while flashing her trademark bright smile.

Our angel was predeceased by her mom and dad and beloved sister Carol Fortier.

She is survived by her husband of over 60 years Randy Huard, her sons, Mike Huard, and Mark Huard, Mike’s wife Kellie Huard, her brother Tom York and his wife June York, her one grandson Mack Huard, and so many wonderful nieces, nephews, cousins and a great amount of very special friends from her dojo in Winslow.

A committal service will be held at St Francis Catholic Cemetery, 78 Grove Street, Waterville on Friday September 15 at 10:30 a.m. Arrangements are under the direction and care of Gallant Funeral Home.
