My fondest memories of Celia will be her generosity and fun loving nature, not to mention a good laugh-out-loud joke. We enjoyed many a tasty 'pasty' together. She was a good friend and will be missed by all of her friends in Encore! and especially her friends in the 'Lunch Bunch'. My heartfelt condolences. Margaret
