Constance Naomi Biggar

Constance “Connie” Biggar, age 84, of North Richland Hills, passed away on December 11 surrounded by family.
Connie was born in Granite City, Illinois on March 4, 1938, the only child of Lois and Marcellus Bradford. During high school she was a member of the marching band, where she showcased her musical talent on the bass drum. Following graduation, Connie spent a semester at Southern Illinois University where she studied speech therapy.
In 1958, Connie relocated to Dallas, Texas where she became a flight attendant for Braniff Airways. During her time as a flight attendant, Connie traversed the nation and developed an insatiable love of travel. She had many exciting adventures while traveling, including meeting Elvis Presley. Never shying away from sharing her opinion, she told him she didn’t care for his music (she was more of a jazz fan herself).
In 1959, Connie married Richard Biggar of Dallas, Texas and went on to have two children, a daughter, Michele, and a son, Brad and three grandchildren. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Euless and the Clipped B’s, a group of former Braniff flight attendants. Connie went on to become President of the organization from 1989-1990.
Connie had a zest for life and was unfailingly joyful, despite having suffered a debilitating stroke in the mid-90’s. She was full of humor and had a laugh that could burst eardrums. She was a devoted grandmother, a shopping addict, a musical-theater enthusiast, and an avid Dallas Cowboys fan. Connie was a friend to everyone she met and will be greatly missed by many.
Connie was predeceased by her mother and father, Lois and Marcellus Bradford. She is survived by her husband, Richard Biggar, her children, Michele (Don) and Brad (Tracy), and her three grandchildren, Drew, Shelby (Mac) and Jake.
Services will be held at Bluebonnet Hills Cemetery on December 16 at 10 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the American Stroke Association in her honor.
