Biography

Alzheimers. It was a little quirk of my grandmother to add an 'e' to the end of cecil, because she disliked her name.

Cecil grew up in the depression and learned never to throw anything away . Her basement was set up with washers, dryers, and refridgerators of all ages and types. Many of them worked. She also had garment racks full of clothing, and misc bedding, furniture and decor. If a person needed it, she probably had it! She would definately be labeled a packrat today, albeit an organized one... Cecil was an elegant dresser and for years hats and turbans were part of her wardrobe. Cecil was an avid flower gardener . Some of her flowers, in particular a wisteria 80 ft tall growing on a fir tree and a Cecile rose whose crown is over 20 ft wide along with trees and bushes, are thriving on the home property. She was also an avid amateur photographer of her garden flowers. Profile Manager has a large stack of flower prints made by her. Cecil felt a great need to help others and during the course of volunteering she was drawn to disadvantaged children, becoming a foster parent. She was also a volunteer for inmates at the Salem OR penitentiary. Cecil and her husband Edward Charboneau were formally recognized by an Oregon Governor for their contributions through Volunteer endeavors.

My great gramma angie, my moms gramma, and my dads mom, my gramma cecil, were two very different types of women... but they both took in washing to earn money. My gramma cecil washed the loggers clothes... pitch and grease and fir needles... heavy denim.and wool shirts ... what was funny about those single logger guys is that they refused to bring her their long johns "no maam that jus wouldnt be right , you being a lady an all"

Cecil was a volunteer for various entities.

She loved gardening , both for vegetables and fruits and also for flowers. I remember the first time i ever ate black and yellow raspberries was at her house straight off the plant. In her younger days hats were popular and when she got older and hats were no longer stylish, she switched to turbans and wore those out in public for many years, clear into the nineteen eighties. She had some special things she liked to make, including homemade marshmallows and divinity.

Cecil worked in the shipyards of Portland Or during WW2, installing asbestos, which the family feels affected her health and possibly caused her decline into alzheimers .
