Connie Mangine
March 6, 2025
Connie (Kuhn) Mangine, age 74 of Perry, passed away Thursday, March 6, 2025 at home, surrounded by her loved ones. She was born in Left Hand, WV, the daughter of Hobert and Maggie (Murphy) Kuhn. She married her college sweetheart, John Mangine, on December 24, 1970. Together they lived in Texas, Colorado, Virginia, and California, while he was in the United States Air Force. While in California, she finished her degree in Accounting and Computer Science in 1977.
After moving back to Ohio to be near her beloved mother and extended family, Connie started working for Lake County National Bank, Electronic Data Systems, Bank One, and JP Morgan Chase Banks. She worked hard throughout her career to becoma a vice- president at JP Morgan Chase, most notably leading technology conversion of acquired banks to Chase’s systems. She retired in 2010.
Connie’s hardwork, generosity, and love for her immediate and extended family defined who she was, especially her grandsons and numerous nieces and nephews. She loved to laugh and play cards and was the original binge watcher. She enjoyed planting annual flowers every year on Mother’s Day, shopping, family photographs, eating ice cream at the lake, playing with her cats Reba and Alan, spending time with her grandsons most of all.
She is survived by her husband, John; daughter, Heather (Chris Robinson); grandsons, Adler and Linus Wegener and many friends and extended family members, who will miss her dearly.
She was preceded in death by her daughter, Rachel Mangine; parents, Hobart and Maggie; and siblings, Herbert “Ted” Kuhn (Audrey), Alton Kuhn (Garnet), Billy Kuhn (Nancy), Gladia Swiger (Bernard), and Peggy Slater (Harvey).

I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. This is a beautiful photo. I’ll always have great memories of her from when Heather and I were teens and would spend time at the house in Columbus. She will be missed.
I became acquainted with Connie while working on conversions for Bank One. She led us all down a technology path that helped to grow my career but more than that she held me in a lifetime friendship. We had so many times that laughter was the only gift we brought to the party. I truly loved her and am thankful for her in my life. I will always recall her laugh and her heart.
At the bank, Connie stood up for us when many others were doing the opposite. She was a saint. Her laughter was known and appreciated by everybody. She shared with us and John displayed his “bird houses”. They were a nice team, and a blessing to everybody.
Austin 1973-1974..Connie was my lifeline. As a young bride 750 miles from home I can’t imagine getting by without Connie and John. She was a mentor, best friend, big sister, and guidance counselor. Through the decades and miles I’ve often thought of her laughter and encouragement. In July 2021 we had a chance to visit. Forty seven years had past and I felt transported back to their apartment in Texas, the same welcoming hospitality and friendship. After all this time, I still consider her a role model.
