Constance “Connie” V. Kosloski

Constance “Connie” V. Kosloski, of Holt, Michigan, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family while in hospice care on November 25, 2023, at the age of 85.

Connie was born on February 2, 1938, in Lansing, Michigan, to Bill and Joyce Hill. She attended Sexton High School where she met and married her husband of 67+ years, Kenneth A. Kosloski. Shortly after marrying on May 4, 1956, they started their family which includes four children, seven grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren, with two more on the way in February.

While raising her family, she worked odd jobs and later started an in-home child daycare business, working and raising many other children for 17 years, retiring in 1994. Connie enjoyed traveling with her husband and family, playing bingo, bowling, going to movies, taking painting classes and playing poker on the computer until the wee hours of the morning. She was an enthusiastic crafter, creating crafts for all of the holidays, for family gifts, and to sell. She loved all holidays and decorating for them, and was happiest with a house full of family, cooking, laughing and playing games. She loved her dogs, Pootsie, Duffy, Minnie, Maggie and Annie.

Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Kenneth Kosloski; sister, Karen Hill; her children, Joni Kosloski, Kenneth (Debbie) Kosloski, Peggy (William) DeWitt, and Paul (Cindy) Kosloski. She took great pleasure in the company of her grandchildren, Keri (Kyle) Brytowski; Kami (Micah) Buckwalter; Taralynne (Tom) Bramos; Molly (Jeremy) Patchett; Cody (Kalea) Morrison; Kelsey (Alex) Najm; and Hayley Kosloski (Zach Porritt). She adored every moment spent with her great-grandchildren, Marlou and John “Jack” Brytowski; twins Alexis and Jesse Campbell, Daniella and Kennidy Bramos; Noah, Audrey and Jacob Patchett; Graham and Brooks Morrison; and Jack Najm. She is also survived by many relatives in the Hill, Ingram and Kosloski families.
