Mrs. Connie Dianne “Mrs. Connie” Woods, age 69, of Rockmart, GA passed away Sunday morning, May 24, 2026.

Born in Cedartown, GA, on November 29, 1956, Connie was the daughter of the late Sara Carter Queen. She made her home in Rockmart, where she devoted 29 years of her life to the Polk School District as a caring and dedicated paraprofessional.

Connie’s joyful spirit lit up the Rockmart community, where she proudly served as the beloved “Rocky” mascot for Rockmart High School and became a local icon as “the dancing lady” at every Rockmart football game, her energy and smile reflecting her deep pride in her hometown and her school.

More than anything, Connie cherished time spent with her family and friends. She found peace and happiness visiting the Smoky Mountains and loved collecting all things “Grinch” and “Jack Skellington,” symbols of her playful and vibrant personality.

In addition to her mother, she was preceded in death by her brother, Leonard Queen.

Connie is survived by her husband of 48 years, Steve Woods, to whom she married on April 8, 1978; her daughter, Nonnie Woods; brother, Wayne Queen (Polly); sisters, Jeanette Steele, Glenda Gable, and Marie Cain. Several nieces and nephews also survive.

Graveside funeral services for Mrs. Woods will be held Thursday, May 28th, 2026, at 11:00 am at Polk Memory Gardens.

The family will receive friends Wednesday evening, May 27th, 2026, from 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm at Alvis Miller & Son Funeral Home.

Pallbearers will include Tony Landrum, Joseph Landrum, Dylan Merritt, Ethan Goolsby, Will Knight, and Tony Morrow.

Alvis Miller & Son Funeral Home & Crematory is honored to serve the family of Mrs. Connie Dianne “Mrs. Connie” Woods.
