Cecelia got married to John Trojanowski on December 23, 1966. He preceded her in death on November 3, 2009. They were married for 43 years and are now together again.
Christmas was a favorite time for Ceil and every year she would make 100s of homemade Pierogi for friends and family. Her hobbies included gardening, reading, and spending time with her close friends and family. She loved caring for her plants and flowers. Her dedication to them was rewarded by the beauty and compliments received of the flowers. Ceil loved music. She was a huge Elvis Presley fan. She was a very generous person, not only donating to virtually any charity imaginable but also an avid blood donor. She also enjoyed helping her daughter prepare
her classroom for the upcoming school year. Ceil was an animal lover who was especially fond of deer and hummingbirds that she loved watching in her backyard
.
