Guestbook

  1. 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.

  2. So very sorry to hear of Celeste’s passing. I know she had a beautiful support system in her family & she was so loved. Sending you all love and comfort at this time.

  3. I just know you and Mom are enjoying a round of golf and luncheon with the SOTOG (some of the old gang) up there in Heaven, but you will be sorely missed here. Let your light shine as bright up there as it did here on earth.

  4. What a gal. Funny, flirty, and much more wise than most. I always enjoyed our chats and sense of humor. She did good in life. Thanks for sharing her with some of us.

  5. To Elizabeth Fako Rooney and the entire family…. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time. Please accept our sincere condolences.

  6. Celeste was our stepmom. We loved her very much.
    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!
