A funeral service was held at All Saints’ Parish Church on Wednesday December 9 for Mrs Celia Broadley, of Kelleythorpe, Driffield, who died in Hull Royal Infirmary on the November 24. She was aged 68 years.
The service was conducted by the Rev Jacki Tonkin and the organist was Mr Martin Salter.
Celia was a very special lady. She was a dedicated hard worker and a wonderful wife and mother. She had been married to George for 50 years and was very committed to her family. She only returned to work when Sally was older and that was at the garage just next door to home at Kelleythorpe. She loved working at the garage, right through from the days of serving petrol, cleaning the cars and serving in the shop, unfortunately after suffering a stroke in 2012 that forced her reluctant retirement. She was a dedicated grandma and great grandma and a beloved friend to Kate and Peter.
She was a very good cook and loved baking, her jams and chutneys were given freely and you never left empty handed if you went to visit her. She enjoyed going to groups in the OT Department and it was there she got into card making and had just completed a number of Christmas cards for friends and family which the family will be proud to send out.
She will be greatly missed.
