Celeste "Darlin" Charlton

Celeste was born in San Antonio to Nuel & Elizabeth Griffith on October 5, 1937. She went to school in San Antonio and married Kerry Charlton on February 2, 1967 in Dallas, Texas. She loved singing, gardening, and was a lifelong artist. She loved all things that were beautiful. Celeste was devoted to her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, her nickname being “Darlin” to all. Her creativity and talent will be remembered forever over future Easter Egg Hunts, Valentine’s Day tea parties and other family traditions that she began and cherished. Celeste was also a lifelong Baptist with a deep and abiding faith in God. She will be greatly missed, but we take comfort in the fact that she is back with her Lord.

Celeste was preceded in death by her husband Kerry Charlton and daughter Rebecca Risor, as well as her parents and grandparents.

Celeste is survived by her son Andrew Breazeale (Diana), her son Jeffrey Breazeale (Elizabeth), her grandsons Danny Workman (Taz), Ryan Risor (Ashley), and Brooks Breazeale, her granddaughters Katherine Risor (Phillip) and Josephine Breazeale, and great-grandchildren Braedon Smith, Carter Smith, Izel Lia Tatum and Aeden Ollie Workman.
