Celia enjoyed bingo, card playing, late night twin river trips, foxwoods bingo and was an active member of her retirement community. When you walked into her house if she wasn’t already having a cup of tea that had to be with whole milk it was just about customary to enjoy one with her.  Celia was always the first person to lend a helping hand, assist others in need even if it was to help get groceries for her neighbors, giving them rides or even just an open ear. She was a very honest woman and didn’t bite her tongue for anyone. She loved to cook, her Gravy and eggplant was her specialty for her family and people who lived in her community. She was her own meals on wheels for the elderly. If you know Celia you know the KFC famous bowl, buffalo chicken strips and smart food popcorn was a must.
