Celeste Gelardo Frink

Celesté Frink passed away peacefully on the morning of November 21st, surrounded by love, leaving a legacy of faith, family, and compassion. She was a devoted wife to her husband of 42 years, Matthew Frink, and a beloved mother to her three children: Jane ann, Thomas, and April. She was “Lola” to her grandson, Myles, whose joyful laugh carries echoes of her own, bringing smiles to everyone who hears it.

Celesté loved deeply and lived her life as a light to those around her. She had the gift of discernment, seeing the truth in the hearts of others and offering unconditional care and understanding. Despite a lifelong fear of dogs, she opened her heart to her beloved pets, Keisha the pug and Momo the sheltie, showing her extraordinary capacity for growth and love. She cherished her extended family in the Philippines, who knew her as Tita, Ate, and Lola. Among her treasured possessions was a well-loved Bible, marked with passages of profound meaning to her, including 1 Corinthians 13:13: “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

Through her faith, Celesté found sanctuary; through her hopes, she built connections; and through her boundless love, she touched the lives of all who knew her. She will be deeply missed but forever remembered in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
