A Celebration of Life for Celia
We lost our beloved Celia very suddenly and unexpectedly here in Victoria, and the shock and sorrow are still settling in. As we begin to make sense of this loss, we are gathering to honour her life, her spirit, and the deep imprint she’s left on our hearts.
Celia was kind, gentle, and full of grace — an artist, a musician, and someone who saw and celebrated the beauty in others. Many of you will remember her from music nights, community events, dance floors, and quiet conversations that made you feel known. She had a way of lighting up a room simply by being in it.
We invite you to join us for a celebration of life — an afternoon to remember her together, to share stories and music, to hold one another close, and to honour the incredible soul she was.
SUNDAY AUGUST 30, 5pm-7pm
Sunset Labs, 400 Herald Street
Whether you knew her well or crossed paths only briefly, your presence is welcome. Thank you for the love, care, and community you’ve extended in this tender time.

COMMUNITY PHOTOS:
I know a lot of us have great pictures of Celia from various gatherings and meetups. I think it would be great to collect those for family (and maybe to share at the COL?) - I've set up a public G.DRIVE folder that we can all drop photos into, if you have some:

FAMILY FUNDRAISER:
The family is low on resources as they work to process Celia's departure, her home and belongings, and her end-of-life tasks. If you're able to contribute some dollars to support them in this time, it would be much appreciated:
