Celestina was a very giving and generous lady who would go out of her way to help someone in need or donate to local charities. Her family meant everything to her, and she loved when she could spend time with her daughters and her loving husband.

In her spare time, she loved to knit hats and sweaters for her family and enjoyed spending time with her many animal friends.
