Celeste's obituary

Original night owl Celeste Yvonne (Desfosses) (Berube) Matras, July 13, 1954 - April 5, 2020, of Goffstown, NH has passed away after a brief battle with cancer. Leaving behind her four children, four grandchildren, two of three brothers and a robust group of friends.

Growing up in Pinardville she attended catholic school, Goffstown High and on to receive a culinary arts degree after dabbling in accounting and real estate. After raising her family, she worked in food service as the lunch lady at Dunbarton Elementary, and ran her own catering business known for pig roasts and smokehouse goods. Her door was always open, she was the woman you went to for help and she'd give you the shirt off her back. She was the life of the party and danced to the beat of her own drum. Careening in her black Cadillac, always up for a game of cribbage, shopping for local crafts, strolling the beach, reading a bedtime story and mixing up cocktails, she was creative to say the least.

Celeste is buried at the GPS location 43.12256885714286, -71.938577 at Life Forest.
