Robert was born March 16, 1939, in Linden, Texas, to Henry (Daddy Pa) and Bertha (Newsom) Conner. He moved to Springlake in 1950 and was a member of the Church of Christ. On August 27, 1960, Robert married the love of his life, Peggy Parker, in Littlefield and they were married over 59 years. Robert served in the United States Army from 1961 to 1963. A lifetime member of the Earth Roping Club and a member of the Springlake Fire Department, Robert was a farmer until retiring in 2009. He enjoyed tinkering, working with his hands, and was a huge supporter of the Springlake-Earth Wolverine athletic programs. Most of all, Robert loved his family and spending time with his grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters, Joyce Venneman and Treva Jo Crocker, a brother, A.L. Conner, and a great-grandson, Aries G. Conner.
Those left to cherish his memory include his wife, Peggy Conner of Springlake, two sons, Terry Conner and his wife Glenda of Amarillo and Chuck Conner and his wife Kristie of Springlake, and a sister, Gay Nell Moree of Springlake. He was blessed with five grandchildren: Lynn Redecop and her husband John, Austin Conner and his wife Lauren, Colby Conner and his wife Mariah, Peanut Conner and his wife Melissa, and Faith Conner and four great-grandchildren.
The family suggests memorials be made to the Springlake Fire Department PO Box 58 Springlake, Texas 79082 or the Earth Roping Club PO Box 129 Earth, Texas 79031.
