Celina was born and raised in the small town of Robstown, Texas, and it was there that she met and married her husband of 61 years, Samuel. Celina and Samuel spent a majority of their lives with their families in Grand Prairie, Texas. Celina is preceded in death by her husband, Samuel. She will be laid to rest with him at the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas.
Celina was blessed with four children; Jose Ronaldo (Janie), Lorraine (Rick), Rachael Marie (Herbert), and Samuel Jr. (Ann). Celina is survived by her 4 children; 13 grandchildren, Samantha, Sally, Shelly, Bianca, Vicente, Adrian, Alanna, Marcos, Shawn, Natalie, Raul, Madeline and Gabriel; 11 great-grandchildren; and 3 great-great-grandchildren. Her granddaughter, Anastasia precedes her in death.
Celina had only lived in Grand Junction, Colorado for 18 months with her daughter and son-in-law, when our Lord called her home. During those 18 months, she quickly and proudly obtained her Colorado I.D. (as soon as she established residency). She took her duty and privilege to vote very seriously. She registered to vote as soon as she could and made sure she voted during the primary and the election. Celina loved collecting cookbooks and trying new recipes. She was a true ‘foodie’ as she also enjoyed trying new restaurants. Her other hobby was shopping. She loved a good deal, and sent her finds to her adored family in Texas.
Celina’s family would like to thank all patient care personnel at St. Mary’s Hospital and The Center at Foresight.
“He that endureth to the end shall be saved.”- Matthew 10:22
