CECELIA MARY SCHOFF ~ Jan. 13, 1939 to April 1, 2020 went to heaven today. She is predeceased by her husband, Martin Henry Schoff.

She was a wonderful mother and wife. She enjoyed baking and cooking for her family. Her apple pie was the stuff of legends and dreams we will never taste again. Large family parties and picnics made her very happy. She loved seeing most of her 12 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. They were the joy of her life. Her life was difficult at times, but she always shone through like a beautiful bright star. We are saddened by the thought that we will never hear her singing around the house, will never see her beautiful face and smile again, will never look into her beautiful blue eyes, will never feel those soft arms around us, will never feel her short little self-tucked under our chins in a warm hug. Will never again hear that well-loved beautiful voice saying I love you. We often told her she was “The World’s Best Mom,” and it was so true. She was truly a sweet and wonderful lady. She had a gentle soul. She is finally free.

Cecelia is survived by her children, Martin Schoff (Diane), Bridget Schoff, Jennifer Schoff, Christopher Schoff and Isabella Poss. Her grandchildren Kelly Schoff, Major Lynda Doupe U.S. Army, Rhebeka Hyland, Nichole Hoffere, Garret Schoff, Matthew McAllister, Emily Gillespie, Kyle Schoff, Eric Schoff, Katie Schoff, Zachary Schoff, Christopher Schoff Jr., and 15 great-grandchildren. Cecelia is also survived by her remaining brothers and sisters. Of the original twelve there is Ethel Stephenson, Frank Howard, Dorthy Roth, Mary Patri and Larry Howard.

She will be sorely missed.

We love you Mom.

Our hearts are broken.

Goodbye Sweetheart.
