Not sure what to say?

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Great-Aunt Celia. I have such fond memories of the many trips I took with my grandma to visit her. My favorite memory is when the three of us went to the movies to see The Lion King. I remember worrying she wouldn't be able to follow the animated film. She reassured me with a laugh, saying, "It's okay, I can read their lips!" This memory captures her sense of humor and the love for family she had. My deepest love and condolences go out to all who loved...

Condolances to Celia´s family., we are thinking of you all. Celia was/is a treasure & an inspiration to all that knew her. We will miss your great stories & letters.

All of our condolences to Debbie, Ray, Ambrose and Paul. Aunt Celia was definitely one of a kind....from her great laugh to her skill at the Scrabble board, from her sharp mind to her expertise baking Fat Archie´s, from her wonderful written letters to her love of the clan. And not only were Debbie, Ray, Ambrose and Paul blessed to have her as their mother, we were all blessed to have her as our aunt, Gramma, sister, great-aunt etc. Celia always was always a welcoming host at #28...

I have so many vibrant memories of visiting my Great Aunt when I was young. She was a wonderful woman.

Aunt Celia was a very warm and gentle lady with a warm and caring heart. I have many fond memories of her during my younger years in New Waterford. My sincere condolences to her children Debby, Ray,Ambrose and Paul. Also to Aunt Chris,Aunt Rita and Uncle Raymond her remaining siblings. R.I.P. in the arms of the angels

Very fond memories of spending time with great aunt Celia as a child. She was so loving, warm and inviting. Remember giggling with her and grandma, playing scrabble and feeling her sisterly, auntly- and great aunt love.

Celia was the model of kindness, generosity, and perseverance. One always felt loved in her presence, especially when she was feeding you butterscotch pie and turning away so she couldn´t hear you when you tried saying you were full. I can only imagine how good that butterscotch pie is now for everyone she´s with now.

Love to our beloved MacNeil cousins as you mourn Aunt Celia. We loved her so, and all of you. The light and love she brought to Duggan Avenue and St.Rose was the best example of grace and loyalty for all of us. Our visits to Boston were also filled with her hospitality and ease. She was one of a kind and one of my heroes. What a gift she was to all of us. Thinking of you all.

A lovely, kind woman. God bless you all in this time of sorrow. XOXO
