With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Celestin Raymond Clovis, who departed this life on April 16, 2025, at the age of 81.
Born on April 11, 1944, Celestin was a man known for his resilience, quiet strength, and unwavering love for his family. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Adelaide Gustave-Clovis, his parents Jeanne Charlamagne and Raymond Clovis, and his brothers Patrick Clovis and Norbert Clovis.
Celestin leaves behind a cherished legacy in his daughters Fay Fletcher, and adopted daughters Regina Clovis and Marella Clovis. His love continues through his grandchildren, too numerous to mention, each of whom held a special place in his heart.
He is also survived by his loving sisters Mary Henry, Agnes Maynard, and Francess Clovis. Celestin’s memory lives on in the hearts of his nieces, especially Veronica Llanos, who served as both caregiver and closest confidante, along with many others who were dear to him. He is also remembered fondly by his nephews, including Michael Henry, and numerous others who enriched his life.
Celestin’s presence was a source of strength and comfort to those around him. Whether through his quiet guidance, warm humor, or deep devotion to family, he left a mark that will not be forgotten.
A funeral service will be held on May 16, at the St. Anne’s Catholic Church, viewing at 9 a.m. and service at 10 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family encourages acts of kindness and remembrance in his honor.
He now rests in eternal peace, reunited with those who went before him, and forever remembered by those who remain.
