She enjoyed “camp” St. Cecelia in Elk County PA, where she was an avid hunter. Cecelia was a member of the Y.W.C.A and enjoyed swimming with her beloved friends. She was a great cook and baker and is well remembered for her pigs in a blanket and nut roll. She was a loyal Steeler fan and took cheering for her team very seriously. Cel and Ed loved to talk, tell jokes, and visit with their many friends.
