At a young age, Cecile, walked to church in Thayer, where she was saved, and was currently attending Mansfield First Baptist Church.

Cecile was born in Thayer, raised at Macomb, and was a graduate of Mansfield High School in the Class of 1970. She grew up on the Greenwood farm in Macomb, Missouri, and learned to work hard in the dairy barn and in the hay fields. Her dad taught her so much about animals by just following him around the farm every day.

In her spare time, she enjoyed fishing, making homemade quilts for her family, and going to yard sales. Teaching her children, grandchildren and great-grandchild how to cook, sew, bait a hook, take a fish off the hook, and going to their activities made her proud. She loved spending time with her family and dedicated her life to being both a mother and father and raising her children in a Christian home. We have many memories that we will always cherish and she will be deeply missed.
