Celeste Marie Loera

Celeste Marie “Kermie” Loera, a beloved daughter, sister, and friend, has left us to embark on her eternal journey on January 28th, 2024. Born on November 19th, 1994, in Del Rio, Texas, Celeste brought love, laughter and light into the lives of all who knew her.

Celeste's passion for life was evident in everything she did. She had a zest for experiencing the joy of music and loved attending concerts. Whether it was rocking out to her favorite bands or dancing freely to the rhythm of her soul, she found solace and happiness in the power of music. Her infectious energy spread like wildfire whenever she was surrounded by her loved ones.

Family held a special place in Celeste's heart; their bond was unbreakable. The treasured moments they shared will forever be cherished by those fortunate enough to have known her. Halloween was an occasion that brought out the childlike wonder in Celeste. She adored dressing up in costumes and embracing the spooky spirit of the holiday. Her creativity knew no bounds as she transformed into characters from her favorite scary movies.

Makeup was another outlet for Celeste's artistic expression. She had a true talent for enhancing beauty with her skillful touch and artistic eye. No matter the occasion or time of day, Celeste always had a flawless and glamorous look that radiated confidence.

Traveling and exploring new places brought tremendous joy to Celeste's life. Whether it was basking in the sun on sandy beaches or discovering hidden gems across the globe, she valued every opportunity to create lasting memories with her loved ones by her side.

One aspect that defined Celeste's character was her ability to make others laugh. With a mischievous twinkle in her eye and a quick wit at her disposal, she could turn even the gloomiest days into ones filled with uncontrollable laughter.

Celeste is preceded in death by her grandparents, Josefita Hernandez Loera and Basilio Loera; great-grandmother, Virginia Urias; and great-aunts, Virginia Quintanilla and Aurora Lozano. Although she is no longer with us, their spirits will forever remain intertwined in our hearts.

In the wake of her passing, Celeste's memory lives on through her loving parents, Rachel and Adrian Vigil, her beloved siblings Leeann Loera, Matthew Vigil, and Nyomi Vigil. Her fur baby, Lady and her furry companion Kida, brought immense joy to her life and provided unconditional love. Celeste's nieces "Nastasha" Hernandez and "Evangeline" Loera held a special place in her heart. She was also a proud godmother to Michael K. Riesen.

The support of family was unceasing for Celeste. Her grandparents Arthur and Alicia Gonzales offered unwavering love throughout her life's journey. Aunt Patty Ramirez and her boys shared precious memories with Celeste that will forever be cherished. She is further survived by her aunts, Virginia Riesen and Anna Valadez; her biological father Tony Loera as well as numerous cousins and friends who were touched by her infectious laughter and kind spirit.
