Lola Celia wore so many hats—the public figure, the actress, the matriarch. To me, she was my Lola. I will always remember when she teasingly reminded me that I made her and Papa Doy grandparents at 45 years old. It never really dawned on me what that meant until I was in my early 40s and became a mother of a first-grader. I wondered how she must h...

However, I'm very grateful to have enjoyed my time with her as my grandmother. Lola was the sweetest lady. Her soft affectionate voice, her charming smile al...
My fondest memory of my Lola Celia, who I affectionately called Lolski, was during my college years in Houston, Texas. She and Papa Doy would visit us regularly and also attend to their medical needs at the time. I remember being my Lola's driver during one of her many knee operations and was constantly amazed at her high tolerance for pain and dis...
I will forever be grateful to my Lola or Lolly. I would not be where I am today if it weren’t for her. In my early teens, I would take summer jobs to be her assistant. I was greatly inspired by her dedication to art and the knowledge she shared. She was always patient with me. I then became her scholar for college and even for my after-graduate stu...
