In the early years of their marriage, Cele devoted her time to raising her children. Later, Cele volunteered in the library at Blessed Sacrament School, where she subsequently was employed as the school secretary for a number of years. Upon retirement, Cele had time to devote to travel, playing cards and spending time being the best Mema/MeMe to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.
