Connie was born on January 4, 1940 to Max and Nellie (Pulley) Loghry in Maywood, NE. She was raised on a farm south of Curtis and attended grade school at District 91 in Frontier County. She attended high school at the University of Nebraska School of Agriculture in Curtis, graduating with the class of 1957.
After graduation, Connie came to North Platte to attend the School of Commerce. Connie met Dallis Dye at a Hadley Barrett dance in Sutherland, NE, and they were married on April 24, 1960, in Curtis. Two children, Rodney and Nancy, were born to this union. They made their home in North Platte except for living in McCook from 1963 to 1969.
Connie worked for Dr. C. F. Heider, Sr. and Jr., and worked as a teacher’s aide at Adams Junior High School. In 1977, Dallis and Connie bought Cohagen Transfer and Storage. In 1981 Connie went to work for the family business. Dallis and Connie loved to square dance and did lots of camping. They traveled in their motor home as much as time allowed spending some time in Apache Junction, AZ. She was a member of the RSVP, and enjoyed going to Branson, MO every September with friends for several years. They were Husker fans who never missed a home game if possible.
