Celeste Dominguez Obituary
On March 26th, 1994, Celeste was born at Parkview Hospital in Riverside. She was raised in Yucaipa where she attended Valley Elementary School and Parkview Middle School. Celeste then moved to Moreno Valley and attended Sunnymead Middle School, Moreno Valley High School, and March Mountain High. After graduating from high school, Celeste continued on with her education at Moreno Valley College before getting a job at Lil' Bambino's where she worked her way up to a managerial position during her four years of service.
Celeste spent all of her free time with her children and family. Family was the most important thing to her. She was always there for every birthday party, every holiday and even the small family gatherings. She was goofy, passionate, caring and had the biggest attitude. But no matter how mad Celeste was at someone she was ready to make up minutes later. Celeste started playing softball when she was 9 years old and absolutely loved it. She played third base and pitched all the way through high school. Celeste loved going out with friends whenever she had the chance to get out. She loved Disneyland and trips to the beach. But Celeste also enjoyed simple pool days with her family or hanging out in her favorite fuzzy pajamas.
Just recently, Celeste met Davidlee and her whole world brightened up. She was noticeably happier every day. Davidlee was treating Celeste the way she deserved to be treated and gave her what she craved every day: love. When talking to his family we found out that Davidlee felt like Celeste was his queen, he knew that she was the person he wanted to marry. These two were making big plans and Celeste was beyond ready. She was finally happy.
Celeste will forever be remembered by her two precious boys Javier and Johnny, her loving mothers Lisa Dominguez and Gale Gamboa, her father Danny Dominguez, her sister and best friend Isabella Dominguez, by her beloved sisters Lilyahna Rivas and Casey Gamboa, her brothers Daniel Dominguez and Gage Gamboa. Celeste is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. The love that surrounded her is unending and unconditional.

It still gives me chills that you're actually gone. You were such a great friend to me and I know you've told me many times not too, but I looked up to you. You were such a strong woman. You were always smiling and sending out positive vibes to everyone even when you weren't having a good day yourself. I will always remember Christmas Eve when you dropped me off home after work and we sang our hearts out to Panic at the Disco's I Write Sins Not Tragedies and how you told me you loved my middle name because you wanted to name your future daughter that. lol You were like family to me and mines, we love you and the boys so much. We will always try our best to be there for your boys and family when they need it. I'll always miss you Celesters

I'm sure there is wifi in heaven so I know your reading all of these wonderful heart-felt posts. Now that you are with God you probably already know this, but I'll say it out loud anyway: We miss you so very much Celestey. And we love you with all our hearts. If there really are holes in the floor of heaven look down and you will watch your boys grow up to be good men and be as proud of them as your Mom and I always were of you. Rest now baby. And we will see you again.

Where do i start ,
I remember when i met you when we were in middle school we lived in the same apartments. Middle school was the best part of my childhood because of you we hung out everyday we shared clothes we laughed together we cried over boys together & as we moved on to high school we drifted apart but still remained friends even after we had our kids it didnt matter how much time went by as soon as we would hang out it was like we never stopped talking. I admired how strong you were as a mother for your boys no matter how deep the hole you always climbed to the top and pushed on . I remember those times we would go out we had a blast and i still have those pictures i wish i had all those pictures we took when we were little. I remember we used to tell my sister we were ride or die friends and i still laugh about it till this day because it was true anytime we wanted to hang out we made it happen & i wish we could of stayed as close as we were in middle school but ill always have those memories we had growing up together . Youll always be missed my friend and I pray you get justice

Celeste,
I want to thank you for letting me be a part of you life these past years. I watched you grow into this beautiful strong mother and woman. How you did it on your own for your boys everyday is something not many people can do but you were doing it. I could not be prouder of you my friend for all you were accomplishing for you and your boys in life. I am just so sad and upset that your life was cut so short so quick. I will miss your voice on the phone especially your laugh when you would always catch me trying to fake a complaint in a different voice. I will miss walking in to the store and seeing your smiling face and the hugs and conversations we shared when I would visit. If there is one thing I know about you my love is that no one can separate you from your boys not even in death. I know that you are now at peace and that you will always be a gaurdian to those boys. I miss you so much I will never forget you my friend. But I will not say goodby instead, I love you and will see you later.

Celeste, I was able to watch you grow into a beautiful, loving woman. Such a bubbly, personality. I loved to hear your soft voice. I am glad that I got to tell you how proud Papa and I are of you, the way you worked hard to take care of your boys. The love you showed your family, the hugs and laughter we will miss. I will treasure the times we shared and the talks we had and the way you always said in your soft little voice, "I love you grandma ".

Celeste,
I miss you so much. I will think of you every day. You touched our hearts in so many ways. I was very proud of you, you were such a good mom, you worked so hard for your boys. We have so many memories. The beach, The Vegas, Big Bear, the Britney Spears concert and just time at home eating cake batter! I will keep you posted on the Dallas Cowboys!
I love you baby!

Celeste my heart aches that you were taken from this world so young and for the hole you have left in your families heart. My heart also aches because I really didn't know you well. I wish I had, you were such a beautiful young mom, but you were doing an amazing job raising your boys. So hard when we don't have a reason to lose someone so precious in our lives. I will make sure I get to know you thru the memories your mom and our family shares and thru knowing Javier and Johnny. My prayer is that you are resting in the arms of Jesus and will be a guardian angel to your boys and your family. Give Papa a hug and kiss for me. Rest in Peace sweet angel. You will forever be missed but never forgotten.

Celeste it was an honor getting to know you the year you were in my class! I remember thinking how tiny you were playing softball in such a tough way at March Mountain. I will always say that teaching at March was my best teaching experience because I got to meet so many wonderful girls like yourself. The last time we talked was when Javi was sick last year. Your patience, love and will to push forward for your boys was always so amazing to watch, even from afar! I will pray for your boys so they continue to grow in the way you would have chosen for them!

Celeste, there are lots of memories I've had with you it's a little hard to pick a favorite. I guess One of them would have to be when you, your mom and I tricked Bella into believing that frying ice cream was a thing. Or your silly goofy moments when we'd dance in the living room..haha, you never failed to put a smile on anyone's face, and that was my favorite part about you, you were always happy and so forgiving. Everyone loved you so much, that's just the kind of person you are..very honest, loving, and caring, and I'm very greatful to have been a part of it, until next time Celeste..I love you, rest easy.

Celeste , I still can't believe your gone. You were always happy. Everytime you came in you always had a smile or a funny story to tell. Or you would be with Bella. I would always try to convince you to get your boys to call Lisa(your amazing strong mother) grandma instead of Nani. You are such an amazing woman .I am gonna miss you. We all love you!! Rest in peace Celeste

Celeste.. We have so Many memories and so Many talks that won't leave my head, I accidentally slip everyday when I think I can just call you. We met because Javier and Janelle would play only with each other in day care, they pushed me and Celeste to become friends but after meeting each other we realized we had So much in Common and we where going through the Same situations that we could help each other with, and since than we've always been there for each other. You are the Sweetest Celeste and you will Forever be in our Hearts pretty Lady... R.i.Paradise girlie

I didn't know you for very long but I swear it was the best in the time i did. You are so beautiful so funny so weird so crazy so kind, just so you. And I love you. I remember you dancing to any song you could, or laughing so hard you couldn't even speak. You are the best mom anyone could ask for, the best sister, the best person. I do remember our car adventure to wherever and we were screaming song lyrics and laughing at the GPS.. Hamner And you and I were laughing so hard we barely payed attention to where we were going. I miss you and I will remind anyone who has your memories faded.

My dear sister, you were/are my best friend even though I was your little sister that irritated you like crazy and did things you did not approve of. I thought of you as a mom as a sister as a friend you were the best thing in my life. Everything you have tought me will live on. None of these memories will fade and when people start forgetting these memories I will be right there to remind them. Especially with the boys and lizzy I will make sure they still know who you are everyday because you were the best person ever and I will not let them forget that. I will remind them about how funny and crazy we used to be and even our secret language that Javie was catching on to. I love you and I will never forget you, you travel with me where ever I go. Thanks for looking over me
