It is with deep sorrow the family announces the death of Marie Celina Ouellet on February 12, 2017 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Celina was born on September 26, 1921, the daughter of Onésime and Laura Nadeau. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother and homemaker. Celina was a very talented seamstress, avid bingo player, long-time member of the Legion of Mary and the Queen of Peace Prayer Group, and she was a woman of great faith who attended Our Lady of the Assumption Church for 70 years.
