Celina Rita Burns, 90, passed away peacefully Oct. 12 in Greeneville.
Born Feb. 10, 1934, Celina was known for her buoyant spirit, deep faith, and indomitable strength.
Celina's life was marked by her dedication to family and her community. She embraced her role as a wife, mother, and caregiver with unwavering commitment and love. Her home was a hub of warmth and laughter, enriched by her skills at the piano and her joy in playing cards, whether winning or losing.
A faithful member of Crossroads Church at the fairgrounds, Celina's spiritual life was a cornerstone of her existence, guiding her actions and interactions. Her church family will remember her as a beacon of light and kindness.

Additional loved ones include Joseph Faul, Misty Faul, Taylor Hernandez, Jacob Wade, Grant Faul, Rebecca Holder, and John Sycks.
