Obituary
Connie Jean (Doty) Travis, 79, of
Mount Pulaski, formerly of Chestnut, passed away on
February 22, 2018, in her home surrounded by family.
She was born May 21, 1938, the oldest daughter of
Glen and Dorothy (Puyear) Doty of Cowden. She
graduated from Cowden High School, class of 1955,
and then went to work at Illinois Bell Telephone
Co., Decatur.
She was married to Richard Travis on November 22,
1959, at the United Methodist Church in Herrick.
They lived and raised their children on a farm near
Chestnut, and also enjoyed spending the winters at
their home in Ft. Myers, Florida. After Richard’s
death on August 12, 2012, she moved to Mount Pulaski
to be near her daughter. Her family was precious to
her, and she was an avid gardener. She was retired
from the post office and worked in real estate.
