My sincerest condolences to the Clausen family. Grew up with Cedy in our teen years in Florissant. Lived down on Ascot Terrace. She was always so full of life and was very artistic.
May she rest in peace.
God Bless.

I will never forget Cedy-- she was a great friend! Her laugh would always bring a smile to my face. I was so sad to hear that she had passed but realize that she is now at peace bringing smiles to our loved ones in heaven.

I remember Cecelia well from our grade school days at St. Dismas. She was a kind and gentle person then, and it sounds like that was true for her whole life. May she rest in peace with the Lord.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with the entire Clausen family. My memories of Cecelia stem from my days as a teacher at St. Dismas School between 1970-1976. May she rest in peace.

Cecelia-You made a difference in the life of your students. Take comfort in knowing there is a guardian angel watching over you.

I, regrettably, did not know Celia very well, however, her brother Brian and I have shared a lot of fun times together, back in grade school, and way beyond. My condolences go out to the whole Clausen family.

I will also remember her as Cedy! We went to grade school together and spent many Friday nights skating at Aloha roller rink. I remember that Cedy was crazy about horses and I find it so rewarding to hear that she was able to use horses in her therapy with others. I wish the Clausen family much peace during this difficult time. Nancy Mahood Petersen

I will always remember her as "Cedy"- and always with a beautiful smile on her face. We were in the same class at St Dismas. I have not seen her for many years, but will always remember her as a sweet soul. God bless the whole Clausen family. You are in my prayers. So sad to hear of her passing. Monica Goldkamp Hesser
