Nancy Celieno Obituary

Nancy Roberta Celieno

June 11, 1949 - Aug. 7, 2022

NAPA - Nancy Roberta Celieno, 73, sadly passed away on August 7, 2022, at her home in Napa, due to heart related conditions.

She is survived by daughter, Elizabeth (Lisa) Walsh; sister, Patricia Thomas; brother-in-law, Jesse Thomas III; nephew, Che Thomas; and nieces: Mariah Hansen and Coleena Thomas.

Nancy had a life-long love of the ocean and dogs. Nancy always had a friendly pat to every dog she saw - even if it meant she had to cross the street, parking lot, or field to greet them. She was fascinated by unusual art and the stories behind them and never missed a chance to see new creations. Nancy loved music and attended multiple performances of her favorite musicians. Christmas time was Nancy's favorite holiday and her gift- wrappings were works of art.

She made the world a brighter place and will be sorely missed.

A private ceremony, attended by family and close friends, was held, to scatter Nancy's ashes in her beloved sea off the Coast of Marin County, on October 25, 2022.
