Born on July 9, 1940, to Guadalupe and Marina Carrasco, Celia was a cherished member of the community known for her delightful cooking and baking-affectionately nicknamed the "biscocho lady." she was also a talented seamstress and a generous soul who was always ready to lend a helping hand to family and friends. Her greatest joy came from spending time with her loved ones, especially her grandchildren.

She is survived by her daughter Gloria and her husband Larry, her sons Juan and his wife Sulema, and Gabriel and his wife Elsie. Celia also leaves behind her sister Mary "Babe" Ramos and her husband Frank, her brothers Rufino "Bobby" Carrasco and his wife Adelina, and Arnulfo and his wife Estella. 

Her legacy continues with her adored granddaughter Alessandra, along with her grandsons Alfred, Jeremiah, and Jonathan, and seven great-grandchildren: Nathan, Jacob, Joshua, Gabriel II, Brianna, Valerie, and Donovan. Celia will be deeply missed by her many nieces and nephews as well.
