Celia Robb Obituary
ROBB, Celia
After 97 years Celia peacefully left Victoria, the city she dearly loved.
Raised in Winnipeg & Fort William, Celia came to Vancouver as a teenager, eventually moving to Victoria, where she raised her son and daughter as a single mother. Celia worked at the Bank of Montreal for many years, eventually finishing her working career with the BC Provincial government. A lover of all music and dance, especially ballroom and line dancing, Celia had a great capacity for having fun and a taste for adventure while living an independent and full life.
Celia's later years were spent at The Renaissance, Amica on the Gorge, and The Heights at Mt View. To all the kind and wonderful staff at these establishments her family extend their heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for your professional and compassionate care.
Predeceased by brothers Paul and Michael and her husband Sam Robb, Celia is survived by son Peter Fitch (Jane), Brenda Pugh (Robert), grandchildren Laura Yarish (Dave), Diane Broad (Matt) and Daniel Fitch, great grandchildren John, Anna and Luke Yarish.
We who have loved her and held her hand,
Told her our problems for she'll understand,
Do have the pain of loss,
The joy and peace to forget.
When times do come
and we must pass on with regret.
A Celebration of the Life of Celia Robb will be held Saturday, December 13th, 2025, 1pm - 3pm, Esquimalt Gorge Park Pavilion, 1070 Tillicum Road, Esquimalt BC.
In lieu of flowers please honour Celia with a donation to the Salvation Army.
