Celeste Kohl (nee DeBerardinis), 84, of Williamstown, NJ, passed away peacefully on May 14, 2025. Born and raised in Philadelphia, PA, she lived in Williamstown for over 50 years.
A graduate of St. Maria Goretti Catholic High School, Mrs. Kohl dedicated her life to her family and home. She found great joy in creating a warm and loving environment for her children and grandchildren, who were the center of her world. She will be remembered for her nurturing spirit, her green thumb in the garden, and her deep appreciation for music, which filled her home and heart. She shared a remarkable marriage with her late husband, Karl, built on an unshakable bond and deep love. Their relationship was a true partnership-an inspiring example of devotion, friendship, and unity.
