Cecelia Teeling Howes was born on April 11, 1907 in Waukon, IA, to Edward and Christina (Haas) Teeling. She grew up in the Lycurgus area of rural Waukon and attended the rural Lycurgus "Old Stone" School. She graduated from St. Vincent's Academy in Dubuque, IA in 1923. On May 6, 1930 she married Raymond J. Howes at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Lycurgus. They were married sixty-four years. They farmed in French Creek and Jefferson Townships, rural Waukon, until 1955 and then operated Howes Livestock Leasing Company. Celia also worked as a sales clerk for Hale's and Graham's Ladies Stores in Waukon. She resided at Franciscan Village on Cass in La Crosse from 1994 until October of 2003 when she moved to Bethany Riverside, where she lived until the time of her death. Celia was a long time member of St. Patrick Catholic Church in Waukon where she was a member of the Little Flower Study Club and the Rosary Society for many years. She was also a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary for over 50 years. Cecelia loved to play cards, read, crochet and embroider. She enjoyed dancing in her younger days and played golf well into her eighties. She was a friend to all and was still making new friends. Cecelia never had a harsh word for anyone. She leaves us a legacy of love of family, her belief in the power of prayer, especially the Rosary, which she lead until she was 100 years old, and an enduring faith in God. We were blessed to have her with us so long. The family is very grateful for the wonderful care she received and the many kindnesses shown her by the staff of Franciscan Village on Cass and Bethany Riverside. She considered them all her friends. Survivors include three sons, Edward (Shirley) Howes of Oregon, IL, William (Jan) Howes of Brownsville, MN, and Thomas Howes of Bend, OR; two daughters, Mary Flottmeyer and Rosemarie (Charles) Link, both of La Crosse; 25 grandchildren; 49 great-grandchildren; her younger sister, Sister Clare Teeling, FSPA; and numerous nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents; her husband Raymond, who died March 1, 1994; her only brother, Frank Teeling and his wife, Chris; six sisters and their spouses, Sister Leonita Teeling, FSPA, Florence and Tommy Lyons, Mary and R.J. Kibby, Ethel and Al Palen, Mabel and Charlie Whalen, and an infant sister, Elsie; Joe O'Regan and his wife Mary Rita (Joe was raised by the Teeling family); a son-in-law, Albert Flottmeyer; a daughter-in-law, Marita McCormick Howes; and a grandson, Eddie Flottmeyer.
