Celia S. Carr
December 2, 1937 – May 22, 2023
Celia S. Carr, 85, of Blaine, passed away peacefully at home on May 22, 2023, surrounded by family members.
Celia was born December 2, 1937, to Alfredo and Maria Salinas. In 1954, she met and married Esequiel Carr, to whom she was married for 56 years until his passing in 2010. They lived in Brownsville, TX, for several years, then moved to Blaine, after Zeke was offered a job at Intalco.
Family was very important to Celia. She had a deep capacity for love, always welcoming her children’s friends into her home and providing a safe place to those in need. In later years, she was a loving grandmother. She is deeply missed.
Celia is survived by her nine children, Esequiel (Casey) Carr, Richard Carr, Robert Carr, Mary Ann (Rudy) Carr, Luis (Cassandra) Carr, Diana (Jeff) Lawrenson, Cecilia Carr, Mark Carr, and Blanca (David) Jackson; 17 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; 2 great-great-grandchildren; and many extended family members.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on July 23 at the American Legion, 4580 Legion Drive in Birch Bay.
