Celeste Reis Obituary
Born in Bellows Falls, Vermont, Celeste was the daughter of the late David and Gloria Cushman. She was a graduate of Eastern Florida State College (formerly Brevard Community College) and dedicated her career to helping others, working in retail and as a compassionate Certified Nursing Assistant.
Celeste will be remembered for her generous heart, playful spirit, and love of life. She enjoyed playing Bingo, spending time with friends and family, and was an avid pool player and proud member of the APA. Her laughter, warmth, and kindness touched everyone who knew her.
She is survived by her devoted husband of 40 years, Dennis Reis; her beloved son, R.C. Reis; and her sisters, Rowena Cushman, Marie Cushman, and April Martin. She also leaves behind many nieces, cousins, her Goddaughter Samantha, her best friend Juanita Sasnett, and sister-in-law Margie Wiggins (Kelley).
Celeste was predeceased by her sister, Tammy Cushman.
Her family and friends will forever cherish the memories of her love, strength, and joyful presence.
