Cecil was a very patient and kind man... everyone's friend, young and old. He loved helping people and always gave honest advice when asked. According to his kids and grandkids, they all feel so very lucky to have had "Pop" as an essential part of their lives.
In addition to his parents, he is preceded in death by his wife, Teresa Evans Vaughan and siblings: Vera Crain, Una Vaughan, and Gilbert Vaughan. Cecil is survived by his children, Keith (Tammy) Vaughan and Maureen (Kenneth) Griffin; grandchildren: Landy Kay (Arman) Matin, Kendyl (Bruce) Kilby, Kathryn (Matt) Gabell, Jarrod Vaughan, Andrew( Lianne) Vaughan, Kayla Vaughan (Sam Blackwood), and Megan McMillan; and great-grandchildren: Drew and Amelia Vaughan, Emma Vaughan, Fisher and Hunter Kilby, Amaya, Parker, and Griffin Gabell.
The family would like to thank Fieldstone Assisted Living and Gentiva Hospice for their unending care, love, and support.
