While some time has passed, I just heard of Celia's passing into the Loving embrace of the Lord and while I remember celia as such a disciplined and dedicated worker, her Love of family, her Sisters and of course the family pets, well, Celia, I very much enjoyed our brief phone conversations when attempting to reach Mary to discuss local Mllton politics and you will be missed by many and I am saddened to hear of your passing!

God Bless you!

Celia was a lovely and kind colleague. She always helped and comforted me when needed. She will be deeply missed. Sorry for your loss!

Celia always acted with compassion and kindness, even in a sometimes stressful work environment. Her face lit up when she talked about her family and her church, and we always heard the latest dog or cat story (and saw the accompanying pictures!). She was a gentle soul and will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with her sisters and friends.

My deepest sympathies go to Celia's family. What a loss. I have many wonderful memories of Celia--her kindness, her love of her family (including pets!), her skill and persistence at work, her faith, and especially her laugh. She will be missed.
