Connie Sue (Biby) Arens received her heavenly welcome, Wednesday, May 27, 2026 surrounded by her family. She was born March 05, 1942 to Neil and Juanita Biby. When she was young, her family lived on their farm near Hawley, OK. Connie attended Gore Public School in her early years and attended Bethal Hawley Baptist Church. After her daddy’s unexpected passing at an early age, her mom married Perry Watkins. He became a devoted step father to her and her sister, Sandra. They moved to Medford, Oklahoma and she attended Medford Public School and Medford First Baptist Church.

Connie married Robert (Bob) Arens and together had two loving children, Michael (Mike) and Lisa. After they divorced, she continued to raise both her kids in Medford. While in Medford, she worked as an office manager at the John Deere Tractor Dealership. After Lisa graduated from Medford High School, they moved to Enid and she worked at Long’s John Deere, and later at Northcutt Chevrolet.

After raising her children, she raised her granddaughter, Jamie Arens.  She and Jamie moved to Texas to be near her daughter Lisa, and her son Brent. She worked at Freeman Toyota and was very active in her grandchildren’s lives. Her career was never important to her, she focused on and enjoyed being a loving mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. She enjoyed traveling with Lisa and her grandchildren. Later in life, she moved in with Lisa, son-in-law Don and granddaughter, Ellie.

Connie loved Jesus and was a strong example of His unconditional love and kindness. She loved her family and poured into all of them.

Connie was preceded in passing by her parents; Neil Biby and Juanita Watkins and her step father, Perry Watkins; her mother-in-law and father-in-law; Leonard and Leotha Arens; grandparents, aunts and uncles; and niece Lea Nicole (Nikki) Sanderson.
