Tributes
"I have many fond memories of working with Cecelia at the hospital in the laundry department. The days were busy and lots of clothes. She was a good worker and very pleasant to work with. "
"I don't remember Cecelia as well as I remember her Mom, Aunt Ella (she was my Grandmother, Carrie McPeak Rockwell's, sister) We used to go to Fulton as kids and visit Aunt Ella with Grandma. She was always the sweetest person to all of us. I remember Ceceilia visiting her Mom at times when we were there and my memories of her having shoulder length curly hair stand out in my mind. Funny, the things we remember about people as we grow older. I am so sorry for the loss of your Aunt Cecelia. I'm sure she was very much like her mother and my GreatAunt Ella. You will miss her dearly. My thoughts are with you and your family. "
"I have some fond memories of Cecelia. May she rest in peace! "
