Celia Onkels~Hogan Obituary

We are sad to announce the passing of Celia Onkels~Hogan. A life long good fiend of Celia's described her as " being larger than life". She began her career as a model in Seattle and eventually moved to New York, where she met her husband Frank Satenstein, and had two daughters. Frank and Celia traveled to exotic places, and she even danced with President LB Johnson. When they divorced Celia and her daughters settled in Miami where she worked for Chris Craft as an Interior Decorater. Celia married James Jay Hogan in 1976 and together they raised her daughters. Celia was a fierce tennis and bridge player, golfer and enjoyed gardening. She is preceded in death by her husband of 40 years Jay and brothers Peter and Paul Onkels. She is survived by her daughters Sloan Klein and Dr. Skylar Ulrich, six grand children, her brother David Onkels and her sister Stephanie Onkels, both of Bellingham, Washington. In lieu of flowers please make donations to Woman's Altzheimers Movement. thewomensalzheimersmovement.org/

Celia was a beautiful person in every way. Though we haven`t seen each other for years, we have kept in touch from our U. of Washington and Tri Delt Sorority days in Seattle. Because of her, I met my husband Allan {AJ} Johnson 60 years ago. Judy Johnson Johnson

So sorry to hear of her passing. I lived in Bellingham. She dated my brother and was also a sorority sister at the U of WA.
A gorgeous woman.

Celia and her late brothers Pete and Paul were positive and popular parts of our high school days and beyond in the 1950s. As a U. of Washington student I often drove between Seattle and Bellingham with a carload of fellow UW students, Celia among them. An intelligent, good person.

Sad to hear. I knew Celia in high schooled and found her to be warm, kind, and lovely, with a zest for life. My sympathy to her family. From Lilly Thal Warnick
