Cecilia Bethel

The christening gown was made for me, Vivian Skolaski Partlo and was worn for all 12 of us and some of my grandchildren. It is still a cute little dress with embroidery and a underslip. Am amazed that someone knew about it.

I loved my Aunt Cecelia. I looked forward to seeing the pictures Judy posted on FB of them walking. Their beautiful smiles made my day. Simon and I have called her on birthdays. She was always so cheerful. She made a Christmas table runner for me which I use every year. My youngest Heather still has the doll blanket she knitted for her. She was blessed with a long, beautiful life and will be greatly missed. Love and prayers to all of the family. Karla Strand Jurdak and Simon

So sorry about your mom Judy. Keep memories close and she will always be there.

I have fond memories of going to Mrs. Bethel's house as a young girl, watching her quilt, and her teaching me how to quilt small pillows. She was a staple of our neighborhood and will be dearly missed.

I lived across the street from Cecilia (and Lee) until she moved. Every Christmas I still get out the quilted Christmas coasters and quilted table toppers she made for me. She was a lovely woman who always stopped to chat while she was out on her walks. My sympathies to the entire family.
