A Tulsa County Sheriffs Office Chaplain died suddenly over the weekend from a brain aneurysm.

The Sheriff's Office says Connie Hyatt was a Chaplain there for three years. Sheriff Vic Regalado says Hyatt was always there for everyone when they were having a bad day. He says she would offer a hug, a prayer and words of encouragement. She loved helping people.

"She was always smiling. Always had a kind word,” said Regalado.

Regalado says everyone loved Chaplain Hyatt and Hyatt loved people. She was known throughout the office as "the candy lady."

"Almost daily she would come by everyone's office and offer them a piece of candy, a bag of peanuts, or just a snack, and although it seems simple, the reality was a kind word and a kind gesture went a long way,” said Regalado.

Regalado says although Hyatt didn't work for the sheriff's office long, she left her mark. She volunteered her time to notify families when their loved one had died, was a support system for victims' families and provided peer support in the department. Hyatt also volunteered at the Tulsa State Fair, where she worked Saturday night, just hours before she passed away.

"I can guarantee you there are a lot of people out there at the fair especially this year, that will remember her for her gentleness, her upbeat attitude,” said Regalado. “No one is immune from an upbeat person and from an encouraging word, and an encouraging person, and she was all of that."

The Sheriffs Office hasn't announced funeral plans for Hyatt at this time.
