Connie Galbreath, of Goodlettsville, Tennessee, passed away suddenly on Friday, September 25, 2026, at the age of 59. A longtime resident of the Union Hill community, Connie made her home on Lickton Pike with her husband, Keith Galbreath, for the past 35 years.

Connie was born on December 3, 1966, in Fort Belvoir, Virginia, to Paul and Betty Coleman. She was a devoted wife, daughter, sister, aunt, friend, and a beloved member of her community.

For 20 years, Connie had the privilege of driving a school bus for Metro Nashville Public Schools. She touched the lives of countless children, families, and coworkers along the way. Those who knew Connie will remember her for her warm heart, her generosity, her sense of humor, and the genuine love she had for the people around her.

Family and friends were at the center of Connie’s life. She especially enjoyed spending time with her “running buddies”—her mother, neighbors, former coworkers, and, most of all, the love of her life, Keith. Together, Connie and Keith shared 35 years of marriage and countless memories.

Connie had a special place in her heart for her many nieces and nephews. She shared an especially close bond with her niece, Tenley Ayers (Coleman), and her great-niece, Adley Ray Ayers. Adley affectionately called Connie “Umm,” a special name that quickly became a beloved nickname throughout the family and among friends. Connie treasured that name and the love behind it.

She was preceded in death by her in-laws, David and Frances Galbreath; her grandparents, Andy and Betty Sivak; and her great-niece, Emerson Kate Ayers.

Connie leaves behind to cherish her memory her loving husband of 35 years, Keith Galbreath; her parents, Paul and Betty Coleman; her brothers, James (Carla) Coleman, Timothy (Cindy) Coleman, and Danny Coleman; her brother-in-law, Jody (Stephanie) Galbreath; her nieces and nephews, Tenley(Jason)Ayers, Taylor(Skylar) Galbreath, Evan Coleman, Jenna(Andrew)Sitlinger, Jared Galbreath, Eric(Ellie)Coleman, and Ella Galbreath; her great-niece and great-nephew, Adley Ayers and Sawyer Ayers; and many extended family members and dear friends who will miss her deeply.

Connie’s sudden passing leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of those who loved her. Her kindness, laughter, love of family, and the countless memories she created will remain in the hearts of all who knew her.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Connie’s memory to Freedom Farm in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

Connie will be deeply missed and forever loved.
