She was 5th and youngest of her siblings Waldemar, Marina, Dominika, and Stanislawa. She was a caring wife to Pierre and a loving mother to her two sons Julian and Jean-Paul. She was known for being welcoming to everyone she met and always made friends wherever she went.
Celina is lovingly remembered by her husband Pierre, sons Julian and Jean-Paul, daughters-in-law Beata and Jane, and her cherished grand daughter Lilianna. Celina created meaningful memories with her family, friends and community across her life. An enthusiastic walker, she would greet passersby with a kind greeting and smile.
Throughout her life, Celina enjoyed gardening, painting, travelling, bringing people together, picking mushrooms, baking and french wine. She was committed to God and relied on her faith to guide her throughout life. She supported her church and joined choirs. Her warm and welcoming heart touched everyone who had the fortune of meeting her. In her later years, she resisted Multiple Systems Atrophy to the end.
She was preceded in death by her sister Marina and her brother in law Ernst Wirth.
