Connie Sue (Bitner) Chriswell, age 69, of Elwood, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 13, 2023, with her loving family by her side. She was born on November 28, 1953 to her parents, Max Bitner and Dorothy (Rogers) Bitner.
Connie graduated from Tipton High School in the Class of 1971. Through the years, she worked in housekeeping for Fairfield Inn in Kokomo as well as Miller’s Merry Manor in Tipton. Connie enjoyed live music, taking trips to Indiana Beach, and camping with her family. Connie was committed to those she loved. She liked staying in and enjoyed the comforts of home.

Connie was quiet and easy-going; sometimes stubborn, and always fiercely loyal. She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her!
