Celestine departed this life on February 17, 2014 after a debilitating and lengthly illness. Celestine attended Twelfth District Elementary School, Oyler Junior High School and graduated from Old Woodward Senior High School. After graduating, Celestine relocated to Los Angeles, California, where she met and married the late Travis Wyatt. Of this union were born Beverly and Jeffrey. Celestine returned to Cincinnati in 1968 and worked briefly at Shillito's Department Store and Community Chest before securing a position at the Hamilton County Welfare Department where she worked as a clerk before becoming a Supervisory Medical Assistant and retiring after 25 years of dedicated service in 1995. Celestine loved her family. She loved to cook, she loved to read, she loved painting ceramics, and she loved the simple things in life. She could always be counted on in the time of need, and the faith and belief in God, which she possessed, carried with it such a wisdom which anyone who knew her, knows it came directly from God. Her strength and her tenacity were unyielding and were an inspiration to all she encountered and interacted with.
