Paul Vincent Conley, 70, of Rogersville, Missouri, passed away on December 1, 2023, after an extended battle with Sjögren’s Syndrome.

Paul was born on February 28, 1953, to Arthur and Florence in St. Louis, Missouri. After Paul graduated from St. John Paul II Preparatory South in 1971, he studied Automotive Engineering at Rankin Technical College.

In 2016, Paul retired from Elite Automotive Group. He spent most of his time with family, attending to his honeybees, bass fishing, flying remote-controlled airplanes, monitoring the stock market, and playing his guitar. He was an enthusiastic fan of Formula 1, NASCAR, and all automotive racing series.

He is survived by his wife, Carol Conley (nee Inabnit); his children, Daniel, and Benjamin Conley; his brothers and sisters, Maureen Conley, Michael Conley, Thomas Conley, Mary Jo Conley, Mark Conley, Patricia Margenau and many nieces and nephews.
