Celna Dela Cruz was born on May 23, 1975, in the Philippines. She was a being like no other.

In her early life, she'd be in her dark black room studying, reading or doing strength conditioning and sports, all the while fending off bullies. She moved to many places far and wide across the Earth, in hopes to have a new life past the Philippines. She moved to Hawaii, California and then Florida.

Celna settled in Florida, where she gave birth to and raised her two sons, Doirin and Dumel Voltaire. She devoted her life to making sure that her sons had what they needed and wanted... clothes on their backs, shoes on their feet and food on the table. She made a lot of sacrifices for her sons, which included working two jobs so that they could have what they needed and wanted.

Celna was a caring person who loved to make others happy, and she even housed family and friends that were in dire need. Everyone loved to be around her. She always had kind words of encouragement for those who needed uplifting.

Celna leaves her two devoted sons, Doirin Voltaire and Dumel Voltaire, to cherish her memories; and a host of sorrowing family and friends.

Celna was the greatest mother in the world to her sons, pushing them to love themselves, believe in themselves and to not lose hope in times of struggle. Her light, love and life lessons will shine in them forever.
