Cecilia was born and raised in the Detroit area of Michigan. She and Bill started their family there too. And then moved to the Thumb Area to the little town of Cass City where they had a small farm. After just over 10 years, they moved to the Dallas Fort Worth area of Texas. Cec had a number of jobs and experiences from sales support to bookkeeper to owning her own business. In 1997 her travels brought her to Virginia. A new job with Hallmark brought more fun and as she installed the newest and best that Hallmark Cards had to offer. In 2010 it was time to retire and spend time with family.
The early signs of Alzheimer’s started to appear in late 2010. But with support, medication and encouragement from family, life was as close to normal as before the diagnosis. In mid-May 2017 after a fall and Hip-Replacement surgery, Cec’s health decline greatly. With Hospice support she returned home and in the comfort of her home, she quietly passed to her new life.
