Celeste E LeSage, 56, a spiritual, creative and loving mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend, passed away on February 23, 2020 in Petaluma, unexpectedly and peacefully. Celeste was a graduate of Casa Grande High School (1981) and later the California Academy of Art in San Francisco (1990) where she developed her skills as an interior designer. Her love for the arts, color and detail spawned her desire to create projects that were unique, magical and exceeded her client’s expectations. Whimsical and carefree, Celeste will be remembered for her love of travel, adventure, and meeting new people with a smile and zest for life that was unending. She wanted to do everything, on her own terms, with an enormous spark for life.
Celeste’s love for God, her children, her parents, her siblings and friends was pervasive and infinite. She loved yoga, flowers, playfulness, golf, traveling, singing, shopping and making others smile. She could be loud, funny, caring, thoughtful, and giving 24 hours a day. Celeste was always kind and her open spirit made her new friends daily. She joins her mother Priscilla in heaven, singing and traveling in eternal peace.
She is missed and survived by her two children- Chantal and Christophe Gish, her father, Paul LeSage, her loving siblings, Russ (Marianne) LeSage, Michele LeSage, Brian (Afsaneh Malaekeh) LeSage, Paulette (Ken) Gilbert, Denise (Mark) Mast and Jacqueline (Scott) Ceresa, numerous nieces and nephews, and countless friends.
