Cecilia started her career with the US Rubber Company during World War II, as a secretary. Taking a break while raising three boys, she started her own business of interior decorating “Custom Creations”. She moved, with her husband, for a short time to Lakeland, Florida where she was active in the community participating in many dance recitals and plays. She had a wonderful singing voice and enjoyed “Big Band” era music.

Cecilia was a devout Catholic and prayed daily. She was a parishioner of Saint Pius X for more than 60 years.

Later in life, Cecilia enjoyed family functions and watching her beloved New England Patriots play football.
