She and Manuel had three children. Celsa loved spending time with her family and friends here and in Mexico. She loved getting people together for gatherings and celebrations. You would always find her either in the kitchen cooking her delicious food for everyone or in the center of everyone telling a funny story and making them laugh. When Celsa came to this country, she didnt have anything and had to work hard. She ended up having to play the role of being a mother and father to her three children and raising them alone. Because of this, Celsa was always quick to help others in need and her doors were always open. Celsa would allow others to live with her until they were able to get on their own feet. She would support other women who were in the same situation and finding themselves raising their kids alone as well. Celsa was so proud to see her three children graduate from college. She was also so proud of her granddaughter who she helped raise and her three grandsons. Spending time with them gave her joy and always put a smile on her face. She is preceded in death by her father, Miguel, brother, Octavio, and her two sisters, Alicia and Bertha.
