My life was blessed by Connie and I have many wonderful memories of her. She stayed with us often when she attended school in the States and I always looked up to her and admired her. In the past few years we were able to draw closer again through visits and social media, and I'm forever thankful for that. The last few visits she told me that she prayed that she would remain a faithful living example of Christ through her battle with cancer and she wanted her life to be a strong and living testimony. We would share our favorite Christian songs and how they encourage us through our daily walk. I will miss Connie's laugh, her beautiful voice, her gentle spirit and that great twinkle in her eyes when talking about loved ones. She continues to inspire me to be a better person and I am eternally thankful for her. Jan Caruthers Floro (cousin)
To Connie's family: I am so sorry for your loss. She was my kindergarten teacher in Donna. I have fond memories of her playing the guitar and singing to us everyday. She had a beautiful voice and a beautiful spirit. I'm thankful she is with her Lord but know she will be greatly missed. I feel blessed to have known her and to have had her as a teacher.

Connie was indeed a person who had a strong compassion to give so much to music at FBC from the Trio to children's music programs and such a humble attitude that revealed Christ's love for us all. Always smiling, such a wonderful person to have known, counting it one of a special blessing to have had ...Lifting the family up in prayer... from Linda Gautreaux and Manuel.
Rest In Peace Mrs. Dargel you were a wonderful teacher to my daughters at Airport Elementary. My Condolences to the family. Heaven gained a Beautiful Angel.
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to family and friends. May all your good memories outweigh your sadness during this difficult time. (Isaiah 25:8)
Connie, you are singing and praising in the presence of your God. You left a great legacy behind and will be miss by many. Always loved hearing you sing , you sang like an angel.
I will miss Connie, and the world will be a poorer place for her absence. She was always very kind to me, supportive of the creativity that was part of both of us, and part of the creations of her son, Corey. I loved reading about how she made songs for young children. Making a way into understanding the world through art is one of the many things she passed on to her family and to everyone.
Thinking of the Dargel family during this time! Connie's talent that she shared with us was such a gift and heaven is enjoying it now. much love, Monte and Ami Sides
My condolences to Rusty and the family. Connie will be missed terribly, but oh what a legacy she left behind. Tom Forgy
