Cecelia Maria

Beasley

Cecelia Maria Beasley was born on October 9, 1952, in Arlington, Virginia, to the late Rose (Mancini) Lynch and Pinckney Augustus Lynch, Sr. She grew up in Herndon, Virginia, and attended Herndon High School. She studied interior design and art history at Northern Virginia Community College.

Through her work with adults with special needs in Fairfax County, Cecelia taught important life skills and provided additional support to residents in their group home. She also enjoyed a successful career as a consultant with Christmas Around the World, earning numerous awards and vacations through her sales achievements.

Cecelia expressed her creativity in many ways, from painting murals at local establishments to creating beautiful wreaths and floral arrangements. She loved traveling whenever she had the opportunity, as well as relaxing and floating in the pool or at the beach. Singing and laughter were among the simple joys she treasured, and she sang in the choir in her younger years. She especially loved family game nights.

Cecelia shared 47 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Bob. He was the love of her life, and the two were inseparable, dedicating their lives to one another and to their family. Bob lovingly cared for and provided for Cecelia throughout their marriage, while she cared for him in return, preparing his meals and tending to his needs. Their daughter, Christine, and their grandchildren were their greatest joy.

Cecelia loved the Lord and cherished her faith and church community. In earlier years, she especially enjoyed teaching Sunday school to young children alongside Bob and participating in women’s Bible study.

Cecelia is survived by her daughter, Christine Lauderdale; her son-in-law, Jerry; her grandchildren, Brittney, Nick, Dylan, Ethan, and Skylar; her brothers, Sonny and David Lynch; her sister, Brenda Laconia; and her nieces, nephews, and cousins.

United by love for 47 years on earth, Cecelia and Bob are together in heaven, where their love will continue for eternity.
