Cece was born January 3rd, 1953 in Denver, CO to Eugene H. McCloskey and Jean (Stapleton) McCloskey. She grew up and lived in the Denver area for most of her life and moved to Anthem, AZ in 2024.
She had a long and successful career in the insurance industry including owning her own insurance agency with her father Gene for many years.
Cece never met a stranger. Her open, loving, compassionate and engaging personality made her loved by all.
She will be remembered for her strong Christian faith, her courage and her endless devotion to family, especially to her 3 children. Motherhood was the most cherished role in her life. Her Christian faith carried her through some of her most difficult times.
Cece’s legacy will live on in the stories shared, the laughter remembered and the love she leaves behind.
She was predeceased by her parents, her sister, Kathleen M. McCloskey and her brother, Terrence E. McCloskey.

Six and a half years ago Cece underwent a double lung transplant at St. Joseph’s Memorial Hospital in Phoenix, AZ, giving her a second chance at life. While she never met her donor, the donor left a legacy she honored every day. Therefore, in lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made to Norton Thoracic Institute at www.supportstjosephs.org (a St. Joseph’s Foundation).
