Celia and Denny are both inspirations to my wife and I. Playing golf with them and seeing Celia's determination each time out was remarkable. She might be frustrated from time to time, but seeing both their faces light up every time she sank a long putt brings a smile to my face even now. Watching Denny manuever the cart to save her a few steps and stand near her (but not too close) during her shots (just in case) reminds us how dedicated he was to her at all times. How lucky they were to have each other! Golf will never be the same. We love you both!

I am so sorry for your loss Dennis. Celia was such a nice person. She had a great spirit, and zest for life. She will be deeply missed by all the people she touched. May God be with you and your family as he guides you through this difficult time.

As a child I grew up watching Cel bowl with my parents, then I was given the opportunity to bowl with her in womens leagues then Cel & Denny in a couples league and then finally in a league with her and Audra. I feel like she has been part of my whole life and what a wonderful experience it has been. My sister Sara fought through cancer one year ago and I was always telling her to fight and using Cel as an example of someone who just would not give up. RIP CEL! Love you, go rest high on the mountain :)

Audra & family,
So sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is never easy. But watchiung one suffer is worse. May you find comfort in knowing she is in a better place where she is whole, pain free and surrounded by angels and in the loving arms of our lord. Let memories assist you in your healing. God leaves us the memories I believe to help with that pain. Lean on friends and family and know that those who care for you are here. It breaks my heart that I'll be out of town and unable to be there with you for the service. Be sure you know my heart, thoughts and prayers are with you.

I never got the chance to meet this Celia. As a friend of her daughter I can only say it's true that apples do not fall far from the tree, and I'm sure she was very proud of her daughter, Celia Belt, her family, always giving to the community, and a beautiful person mother and friend. " As the ship sails out of sight we feel it's gone. But on another shore, it is just coming into sight."

It has been a blessed honour to know and love this wonderful lady
.Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on
Cherished memories never fade
Because one loved is gone
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart
For as long as there is a memory
They live on in our heart.
