Connie Munson Clifford

July 15, 1945 — January 29, 2025

Augusta

Connie Munson Clifford, 79 years of age, passed on January 30, in hospice care at Piedmont Hospital. 

She is survived by her spouse – Faye B Ruffin. Siblings Allen Clifford (Patsy) of Tampa, FL and Kathy Mackie (Michael) of HHI, SC. Kenny Clifford (Jana) is previously deceased. Several nieces and nephews Sean Clifford, Kyle Clifford, Holly Clifford Corral, Austin Clifford, David Mackie, Kathleen Mackie, Brandi Childs and her Aunt Doris Bruce McSparran (Don) of Midland, TX. 

 Connie was born in Aiken SC on July 15,1945 to Connie Munson Clifford and Violet Fouts Clifford. The family moved to Augusta in 1950. Connie attended Academy of Richmond County and was part of the first graduating class of Augusta College. 

 Connie was a long-time teacher in Richmond County, achieving Department Chair status and Teacher of the Year. Fondly remembered by colleagues and students for initiating the Senior Class Project and for injecting humor into her classes as well as her support of the girls track teams.

 Connie has been with Faye Ruffin for several decades. They married in April 2023 at a small ceremony in Edisto Island, SC ministered by her sister, Kathy. They loved their retirement to the fullest whether at the beach, on a variety of cruises, or just reading and relaxing with one of her beloved dogs, Scarlett and, later, Reba. 

Nieces and nephews loved her humor and quick wit – even with her correcting their language use whenever necessary. Connie was known for her generosity and willingness to be helpful wherever needed. 

 Celebration of Life will be March 8 at Platts Funeral Home 11:00 – 1:00.

In lieu of flowers, we would like donations for Hospice of Augusta or St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
