She was a member of the Batesville Christian Church.Like all good grandmothers, she loved doting on and spending time with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She used to do some quilting, but eventually took up knitting and crocheting, making all the grandchildren and great grandchildren hats or purses as they were born. Cellie and Harold always put out a large garden and canned the excess to enjoy over the winter months. She was already planning and fussing over this year’s garden. A fan of the soap “Days of Our Lives”, she has watched it since it began in 1965 and also liked “The Walton’s”. Her family talked about what a wonderful cook Cellie was and some of their favorites included her homemade cornbread as well as her chocolate gravy and biscuits. She is survived by her daughters Luettie Harrison of Batesville, Tilda Fruchtnicht of Napoleon, Indiana, Melissa Broughton of Batesville; sons Dexter of Milan, Indiana, Wilson of Batesville, Carlos of Sunman, Indiana, David of Greensburg, Indiana; 22 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren.
