Cecelia “Ceil” Deuel, 70, of Meridian, Idaho, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, June 30, 2011. Her passing leaves a deep hole in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. She will be profoundly missed.
Ceil was a successful real estate agent in Kern County, CA and enjoyed several years in various cooking positions, until she retired at the age of 51 with her second husband, and love of her life, Horace “Mac” Deuel. Together, they enjoyed woodworking, fishing and camping, and rarely left each other’s side. After Mac’s passing, Ceil made the move to Meridian, ID in 2005 to pursue her new role as doting grandmother. She quickly became a diehard Steelhead and Bronco fan and spent many hours indulging in her favorite pastimes of gardening, Bingo, Wii bowling, and cards with family and friends. Throughout her life, Ceil loved her family implicitly and never let a day go by without letting them know it. Always humble, her greatest joy was doing the small things in life that made others feel special. A proud supporter of our Veterans, donor for cancer research, a gullible supporter of school fundraisers and the Arbor Day Society (she gave trees to everyone), and countless others, she gave unreservedly. She leaves behind a legacy of selflessness and generosity. Ceil is survived by her loving daughters, Cecelia Marie Kemper of Bakersfield, CA and Kathryn Brown, son-in-law Todd Brown, granddaughter Elise Brown of Meridian, ID and her two beloved kitties, Mr. Chin and Sandy. Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Holy Apostles Catholic Church, 6300 N. Meridian Rd. on Sat., July 9th at 10:30 AM, followed by a celebration of her life and luncheon at the Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints Stake Center on Black Cat Rd. Remembrances may be left online for the family at www.AccentFuneral.com. Services are under the direction of Accent Funeral Home, Meridian.
