I worked with Celeste at Smith Kline in the billing department. She was always so kind and helpful.
I met Celeste “”Sissy” at SmithKline Clinical Labs. Celeste always said that she watch out for me when I started in June 1977 and in later years I watched out for her. She was a wonderful friend. She went camping with us girls and Kathy’s mom Helen and her love floating in the river. That is after we tied them to a tree stump. She always said she was going to be one of my bride mades. Sissy will be greatly missed and I will always have fond memories RIP my sweet friend!
