<\/a>Distinguished Veterinary Alumnus Award for Excellence in Veterinary Practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\nConrad, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather entered into eternal rest on Thursday, August 17th at The Vistas Assisted Living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Born to Antone and Elsie Ferreira, Connie was born and raised in Ferndale, California and after graduating high school went to Washington State University where he received a degree in veterinary medicine. He began his veterinary career in Redding in 1945. It was then that he met his wife, Dorothy. They were married in September, 1945 and a year later began their family. After 61 years of veterinary practice he retired at the age of 82.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His passion for his work and family did not prevent him from getting involved heavily in the community of Shasta County. Connie was continually active in many organizations; civic, academic, agricultural and philanthropic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Connie was preceded in death by his parents Antone and Elsie and his sister Laverne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is survived by Dorothy, his wife of 67 years and his five children, sons Michael (Harriet), Patrick (Holly) and Kelley and daughters, Connie Marie and Kathy (John) Ewert; nine grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren; brother Clayton and many nieces and nephews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was cherished and loved by many and will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A rosary will be said on Tuesday, August 27th at 7:00 in the evening at St. Joseph Church. Services will be held on Wednesday, August 28th at 10:00 at St. Joseph Church, 2040 Gold Street in Redding.
