Cecilia
Ceci, 73, died on June 14th, 2001 from ovarian cancer, leaving
behind her husband of fifty-two years, Joe, and their three
daughters, three sons, spouses and thirteen grandchildren.
Because Cecilia was treated at the Norris Cancer Center,
the family chose The Lynne Cohen Preventive Care symposium
at USC/Norris to be the recipient of The Cecilia Ceci Memorial
Fund.
Most important to her children is to
make a difference to other families. "Our mom was a
woman so beautiful on the inside that it couldn't help but
show on the outside as well. She led her entire life with
grace and dignity."
Keeping Cecilia's memory alive will always
enable others to know what a special grandmother she was.
Her family will treasure these words, written by her grandchildren,
forever, "With the wink of an eye or a warm embrace,
you always knew how to put a smile on our face. You accepted
each of us as we were and helped us to become the people
we are."
