Cecile loved playing cards with her family and friends, especially with her husband, Lew who loved winning "by hook or by crook" and she took special delight on the rare occasions when she was victorious. Cecile loved square dancing with Lew, sewing, quilting, gardening, listening to Elvis Presley and spending time with her family.

She now joins her soulmate, Lew, in peace where they are dancing on the wind.
