Cecilia A�??CielA�?i�� was born in Joliet and was a lifelong resident. She was employed as a CNA at Our Lady of Angels Retirement Home where she provided great comfort and care to those she tended to nightly. Ciel was a longtime parishioner of St. Mary Nativity where she was active planning and running picnics, donating baked goods, and attending daily Mass. Mom loved visiting casinos with her husband, Joe, playing bingo and Scrabble, and watching EWTN. She loved to bake and always generously shared her treats with everyone she met. Mom was a wonderful wife, devoted mother, loving grandmother, and a friend to many. She will be missed dearly by all.

CielA�??s family would like to express a heartfelt thank you to the Joliet Area Community Hospice Home for the wonderful care and compassion you gave to Mom and our family. You were truly angels in our lives.
