LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Pastor Wanda A. Celli passed away on Aug. 24, 2018, unexpectedly at home.

She was the wife of Ken Celli. They shared 37 years of marriage together.

Born Jan. 7, 1950, in Holton, Kansas, she was the daughter of Marvin and Velma Brown.

She graduated Atwood-Hammond High School, where she played in the marching band and received her ministerial degree from U.C. Berkeley.

A lifelong Methodist, she enjoyed playing piano and other various instruments and found her calling in service to our Lord.

She enjoyed crocheting and made beautiful prayer blankets to bring comfort for those in need. She also volunteered for the Clearlake Police Department.

Wanda is survived by her husband, Ken Celli; her son, Tim (Amanda); and three perfect grandchildren, Kristen, Jacey and Nicholas, all of Clearlake, Calif.
