By Loving me and taking good Care of Me=Nevaeh cantu. Grand daughter

Celia was so much a  part of our family.  I think of her so very often.  Prayers for all the family.  Love and hugs. Patty Mueller


Celia came into my life when I was a young mother, struggling with a lot of wonderful babies.  She reached out to our family and became part of our circle, as she cared for the children with the most tender love and affection.  When she came to work each day, a ray of sunshine walked in the door.  That ray was Celia.  We laughed together and built memories together.  I cherish those memories and will always remember her loving smile and her willingness to love our children.  Rest in peace, dear friend.  You will be missed by all who knew you .  My love goes out to each and every member of her family.  Thank you for sharing her with the Mueller family.

Celia took such good care of me and my sisters when we were growing up years ago. She must have been just 19  but we her love made an imprint on us we still feel today. We were so lucky to have her in our lives as babies and little girls. Thankful for her being born and sorrowful to hear of. her departure. Her memory is a blessing to all she held in her living arms. My heart goes out to her family. Prayers and love to you all. Mary Pat Mueller 

Celia is part of my earliest memories as a child.  She lived down the road from us "out in the country".  The Benavidez family farm was the next farm over from our country home.  She came to help my Mom with us when my sisters Martha, Mary Pat and I were little.  She was our primary caregiver.  Celia's smile and gentle, sweet voice are forever embedded in my memory - she knew how to comfort and care for us, especially my sister Mary Pat.  When I was little she was so tall to me.  When I grew up I met her again and I was taller.  She was always there in my earliest memories.  
Years later I was blessed to see her again on the trip to Rome when she went with her brother and his daughter (in the Cathedral Youth Choir) to sing for the Pope on New Year's Day.  I was there with my youngest, who was also in the choir.  It was so lovely to her again - her smile still reached her eyes. 
The day she left our house to marry the love of her life, a ray of sunshine left us three as well.  Mary Pat, especially, missed her terribly.  
Always, always we remember your beloved Celia with love.
Fondly,
Michelle Marie Mueller Moffitt
