Celeste and Bill were great neighbors to us and our children and dogs Gordy and Jake since 1986. After Bills passing we kept an eye on Celeste until we both moved in 2022. She was a great neighbor.
She took care of our Dad, William R Pierce during some very difficult times. We will always be grateful to her for her dedication to him.
Rest in Peace…Celeste
Until we meet again.
We love you!
