Mrs. McNulty was a wonderful person. Her wit, charm and genuine interest in the lives of her sons were a wondrous thing. Time spent hanging out with Mike and his family at their house in Homewood was a gift I'll always cherish. Heaven just became a little brighter!

As the mother of Patrick McNulty's wife, Wendy, I can attest to Ceil McNulty's great qualities as a loving mother and grandmother. We share a grandson, Andrew (Andy) McNulty who worshipped his "Grandma". She had the quickest wit and best memory of anyone I have ever known. Extremely intelligent, vibrant, loved people and visiting different places. Memories of Ceil will be cherished for her wonderful personality and positive spirit. She will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
