Cornelia "Connie" Karola Redd

Caledonia - Cornelia Karola Redd, age 64, passed away on November 8, 2026, at Ascension All Saints Hospital following a long battle with cancer. She was surrounded by her family.

She was born on April 18, 1962, to parents Heinz and Katharina Röhner in Schweinfurt, Germany where she was born and raised. Cornelia embraced her rich German heritage throughout her life, finding joy in attending Germanfest and savoring traditional German cuisine.

Connie married the love of her life, Michael Redd, on April 18, 1986, and together they raised three children. Connie was a proud traveler, having journeyed to 38 states, and she cherished each road trip as an opportunity to create new adventures and experiences.

Connie had a knack for making those around her smile, often lightening the mood with her playful jokes. She enjoyed doing puzzles, going shopping, adorning herself with beautiful jewelry, and indulging in her favorite pastimes of watching Lifetime and Hallmark movies, as well as the QVC Network. Above all, Connie loved spending time with her grandchildren and cherished being their Oma.

Connie is survived by her husband of 40 years, Michael Redd; children, Jessica (Allen) Romanak, Steven (Lynda) Carpenter, Brandon (Ashley) Redd; grandchildren, Justine, Allen III, and Julianna Romanak, Luke Lee, Lilly Carpenter, and Adalynn, Ryan, and Logan Redd; siblings, Alex, Eveline, Gerhard, Sabine; and many other relatives and friends.

Connie was preceded in death by her parents Heinz and Katharina Röhner.

Per Connie’s wishes, no services will be held.
