Estelle P. Conner

June 24, 1940 — August 20, 2019

Estelle P. Conner departed this life on Tuesday, August 20, 2019, at the age of 79 years, 1 month, and 27 days. She was born in Savannah, Tennessee on June 24, 1940, the daughter of the late Buck and Lennie Wilkerson Pickens.

Estelle was united in marriage to Robert Harold Conner, whom she loved with all her heart. Robert was enlisted in the US Army and Estelle became a stay at home wife. She enjoyed taking care of everyone, but did work outside of the home for a bit as a cafeteria worker washing dishes. During Robert's enlistment, they lived in many different states: Georgia, Colorado, Oklahoma, Hawaii, and even overseas in Germany.

Estelle enjoyed watching wrestling in her later years and you didn't want to mess with her while she was watching it. She was known to have a "colorful vocabulary" and could be seen as hateful, but the truth is, she loved everyone and would do anything for anyone close to her.

She is survived by her sons, Ricky Harold Conner of Savannah, Tennessee, Jeffrey Owen Conner of Savannah, Tennessee, Reginald Dale Conner of Medford, Oregon, and Anthony Bruce Conner of Savannah, Tennessee; grandchildren, Kerian Conner, Megan Conner, Erin Conner, Loren Conner, Jeffrey Conner, Jennifer Conner, and Ashley Conner; great grandchildren, Bradley Conner, Hayden Conner, Andraya Conner, Jada Childress, Marcus Childress, and Alayna Childress; sisters, Kate Franks, Thelma Hemby, and Nancy Webb; and brother, Grady Pickens.

In addition to her parents, Estelle was preceded in death by the love of her life, Robert Harold Conner on November 24, 1999, her children, Marilyn Kay Conner and Michael Ray Conner; a grandchild, Vallen Conner; a sister, Nanny Sue Copeland; and brothers, William Pickens and Jasper Pickens.
