Our mother, Celia Wight, sadly passed away on July 26th 2023. Previously Mum spent over twenty very happy years in Canada with her beloved husband David. Following David’s death Mum returned to England in May 2022 where she lived in Nottinghamshire with her eldest son and his family. She died peacefully at home.

So sorry not to be with you tomorrow. Celia was a wonderful sister-in-law, always positive & ready with an intelligent view or advice. Welcoming and generous to her new family. It was so wonderful to see my brother so happy and superbly supported in his work and in the move to Canada.
Celia was so pragmatic about her own illness while supporting David through his.
My condolences to all her family,
Warmest wishes
Liz

To the whites family, I’m very sorry about your loss. I met Celia around 13 years ago. She always been a cheerful woman, caring and smiling, even in the last couple days of her life. Every time I asked her how she was, She always replied, she was great. Sometimes I couldn’t believe how amazing it was to hear that from her because I could see she was in allot of pain but never shown her sadness to the world.

My abiding memory is of Celia, and Derek, hosting wonderful Family Christmas Parties at Rustat Road, Cambridge. Lovely memories.
I would also like to say how welcoming Celia was to my wife Janet.
RIP Celia.

What beautiful photos! I have many fond memories of Auntie Celia: She had an amazing ability, no matter how big the party and how busy she was, to make you feel welcome and that you were the centre of her attention. She also taught me how to pour a *proper* measure of gin! Vale to a wonderful woman and love to all XX

Lovely photos. David always laughed at my jokes, especially the funny ones.

Thank you to the Calne family for sharing Roy's painting of Celia busy at her desk as the first transplant coordinator. Patsy is sadly unable to attend the funeral but sends her love and best wishes.
