Celeste was preceded in death by her parents, Gladys and Marshall Jones; her brother, James Mack, Sr.; grandson, Davevon Price, and her cherished friends, Dorothy Dickerson, Shirley Short, Frances "Baby Sis" Mack, and Francis Herbert.
Celeste leaves to cherish her memories, her daughter Wanda "Yvette" Jones; daughter-at-heart, Michelle Dyson; nephew, James Mack, Jr.; grandsons, Adam Dyson and Demetrous Dolberry; granddaughter-in-law, Shannon Dyson, and her great grandchildren, Oliver, Amelia and Adrian Dyson.
Family and friends will unite on Wednesday, April 27, 2022 for visitation at 10 am until Mass of Christian Burial at 11 am at Holy Angels Catholic Church, 21340 Colton Point Rd, Avenue, MD 20609. Interment to follow at Sacred Heart Church cemetery, Bushwood, MD.

Celeste was a very funny and loving person! I've always considered her as my aunt as she was very close with my family. I enjoyed coming to her house on the weekends. I never liked tea but when I first tasted Aunt Celeste tea, I instantly fell in love. I wouldn't drink no other tea but hers! She is truly missed, never forgotten and will always be loved.
Love Always
