Connie Jean Gaubatz

Connie Jean Gaubatz, of Angleton, Texas passed unexpectedly on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 at the age of 64. Connie is survived by her mother, Etta Joyce Gaubatz, of Lake Jackson; sister, Sheryl Broaddus (Mark), of Freeport, sister, Donna Leist (Danny), of Lake Jackson; and brother, Michael Gaubatz (Kelley), of Huntsville. She has three nephews; two nieces; seven great-nieces; and four great-nephews.

Connie grew up in Lake Jackson and after graduating from Brazosport High School class of 1968, she attended Stephen F. Austin University. She spent the next phase of her life working in Houston, Texas. It was there that she found her life long passion for helping others. She volunteered with wheelchair bound individuals and was instrumental in helping them obtain wheelchair accessible sidewalks, bathrooms, and housing in Houston. These efforts set the foundation for passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Her experience and leadership later led to her employment with the Social Security Administration where she continued to assist individuals in need.

Upon retirement, Connie enjoyed traveling, spending time with family and friends, going to the beach, and sleeping late. To know Connie was to know that her special gift was her kind heart and compassion for others. She will be greatly missed by family, friends, and anyone that was fortunate enough to know her.

A memorial service will be held at Lakewood Funeral Chapel, 98 N. Dixie Drive, Lake Jackson, Texas on Saturday, October 18, at 2:00 p.m.

The family requests donations be made in Connie's memory to: Memorial Hermann Foundation, Benefitting Mischer Neuroscience Institute, 929 Gessner, Suite 2650, Houston, TX 77024.
