  Rachel Connelly, of Appleton, passed away peacefully in her sleep on May 6th at age 104. Rachel was beloved by the Appleton community, and she kept a full calendar meeting friends for lunch almost daily until recent years.

Her family is profoundly grateful to everyone for enriching her life and being so caring over the years. Their many kindnesses are a reflection of the spirit of Appleton.
