Cecilia "Ceal" Klatt
September 6, 1926 ~ December 22, 2018
Cecilia E. Klatt, age 92, passed away on Saturday, December 22, 2018 at Villa Maria Nursing Home in Fargo.
Ceal was born on September 6, 1926, in Lott, Texas. At a young age her family moved to Courtney, ND where Ceal was raised and went to school. After her schooling she worked on a farm near Casselton, ND where she met Cecil J. Klatt. They were married on October 11, 1947. Shortly after they moved to Kindred, ND where they lived and worked most of their lives.
Ceal enjoyed spending time with friends and family, tending to her beautiful flower beds, and her precious cats. She was an active member of St. Maurice’ s Catholic Church in Kindred until she moved to Fargo in 2017.
Ceal is survived by her daughter, Jackie (Hal) Rosenheim of Fargo; and two sons – Alan (Nancy) Klatt of Grand Forks, ND; and Steven Klatt of Fargo. Also surviving are her four grandchildren – Jill (Sylvain) Lesne’, Brian (Jennifer) Klatt, John Klatt, and Shawn Klatt; and one great-grandchild, Nolan Klatt.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Cecil; and her son, Wayne Klatt.
In lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorials directed to Villa Maria Nursing Home in Fargo.
The family would like to offer a very special thank you to all of the wonderful staff at Villa Maria and to Dr. Harris Ali from Sanford for the loving care and compassion shown to Ceal.
There will be a visitation held from 2-4 PM Friday, January 4, 2019 at the Fredrikson-Boulger Funeral Chapel in Kindred, ND – with a Memorial Service at 3 PM. Burial will take place at a later date at the Kindred Cemetery.
Al, Nancy and family, We are so sorry about the passing of Mrs. KLATT. Her picture is so pretty. Memories are made so we can remember and not forget. God bless you all with comfort and His grace. Mike and Randa
I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She was always so pleasant, and such a great gardener. Your mom will be remembered by all that ever had the luck to meet her.
I am so sorry for your loss. May the words of our loving heavenly Father bring your family comfort and strength during this most difficult time as He promises to bring our loved ones back to life in a perfect world where there will be no more suffering or death (John 5:28-29 & Revelation 21:4).
Steve and Rest of Klatt Family, we were so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. Our thoughts are with you.
My heart goes out to Ceal’s family. Ceal was an important part of my childhood. She would sometimes help Mom with housework and since all my older siblings were in school, Ceal became my buddy. The affection continued as I grew. She went to our church and I thought it was really special if I could sit next to her at Mass. I also remember her letting me choose a Barbie Doll outfit at a store. My favorite memory is when I had a small incident on the school bus and I held in all my emotions until I got home. As soon as I was in the house my sobbing began. Ceal listened and said, “Would you like a cheese sandwich?” and suddenly all my tears were replaced with a smile. Ceal will always have a warm place in my heart.
We were so sorry to hear of Ceal’s passing…. please accept our condolences.
A wonderful lady, prayers to the family
