Cecil has fallen asleep in the Lord. She was a tiny bundle of energy and laughter. Her extended family was large and we often joked over how the never ending stream of letters was keeping the postal service afloat. Some of the most joyful times of her life were while her children and grandchildren were young. We have many indelible memories of singing and dancing together. Mom was widowed too early, but then worked at Tri Valley 7 cannery for many years. Later she joined her daughters on many wonderful vacation trips. The tragedy of dementia affected her later life, but her sense of humor and wonder in life were maintained until almost the end. We are inexpressibly grateful for her life and that she was able to verbalize her love until almost her last breath. Love never dies.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Franklin & Downs Funeral Home.  A graveside service is scheduled for Friday, March 4, 2016, at 11am at Acacia Memorial Park in Modesto, CA.  If you would like to send condolences to the family, please visit franklindownsfuneralhome.com.
