Ron, Lisa & family - I was sad to hear of Celeta's passing, but I am sure she and mom had a sweet and joyous reunion in Heaven. How special to see mom included in your tribute to Celeta. Mom treasured their friendship so much. Sending love to each of you as you navigate this journey of grief.

My favorite memories of my Aunt Celeta are of our Round Top antiquing trips. Celeta was a delight to travel with and always up for an adventure. One trip we shopped right through a tornado warning siren! That night the hotel front desk said we should come down to the lobby because another tornado was headed toward the town we were staying in. I went down to Celeta's room and knocked on the door. I said I think we need to go downstairs until this passes...she paused then looked over at her sister in law Judy (who was already in bed) and said "I think we are just going to go to bed!" She gave trust in the Lord a whole new meaning that night!
Celeta loved to shop and look for treasures but meeting people and visiting with us and enjoying our lovely picnics under the big Texas oak trees were the true highlight for her. She also adored the wildflowers on our spring trips, the bluebonnets especially. Our last Round Top trip was spring 2016, we had a ball. That trip was especially fun because my Dad (her brother) went along too. He drove us all over and would fetch us water or a cookie upon request. It was fun to see their brother/sister dynamic up close. We will miss her so much- we already do! Thank you Celeta for being such a wonderful Aunt to me, until we meet again I will cherish our sweet memories and keep them close while remembering your beautiful smile and laughter. I love you, Natalie
My aunt Celeta was so much fun to be around. She was a delight to travel with. Always up for anything. My favorite memories of her are us antiquing in Round Top, Texas. One day in particular we literally shopped through a tornado warning. That same night I heard that another tornado was headed for the town we were staying in so I went down to her hotel room and knocked. Her sister in law Judy was staying with her too. I said ladies I think we need to go downstairs until this tornado blows through. Judy never got out of bed and Celeta said “nah, I think we’re good, we’re going to bed” lol. She gave trust in the lord a whole new meaning that night! Ha. She loved not only the antiquing part of our trips, she also enjoyed meeting and talking to dealers, picnicking under the big Texas oaks and she adored the spring wildflowers. Our last antique trip together was April 2016 and my dad (her brother) came along too and it was fun to see their brother/sister dynamic! We just will miss her so very much and already do! We love you auntie and until we meet again I’ll cherish my lovely memories of you and your beautiful smiling face. Thank you for being you and being a wonderful aunt to me always!
I will truly miss my dear sister Celeta . Being several years older than me she always took care of me when I was young. As an older sister she might not have wanted to do that but she did. We always enjoyed our family get togethers over the years she especially loved Christmas time with the family it won’t be the same without her but the memories will live on . Love you Celeta your brother Mike
My sweet sister in law always Wanted to make sure that others were taken care of. When my family lost our father,Husband friend. Celeta came with her famous Chocolate Sheet cake. We just remember how comforting that act really meant to all of us. And Yes we all had to have a copy of her recipe. Her grandchildren fell in love with the chocolate cake and she always baked it for every special occasion! We will never forget her and all her love she showed to all the family and others!
