Cecilia, who was lovingly referred to as Cece by her grandchildren, was an artist and loved the outdoors. Many days, she would go hiking with her dog, enjoying the mountain air. She also had an affinity to the southwest. This was reflective in her artwork. She passed on this love of nature and animals to her family.
