Céline Ella Sanders
November 20, 2023
FORT MILL – Céline Ella Sanders burst into being on Monday, June 8, 2020, in Huntersville, NC. She was born from the song in her mother Margaux's heart, the apple of her father, Quentin's eyes, and most importantly, she was her big brother, Titan's, "Baby". Céline's personality, undeniable intelligence, and bright light could only be compared to The Sun, the most brilliant star at the center of the Universe. When her eyes opened and she smiled and giggled, the world was put on notice that a tiny, yet mighty force of nature was afoot, ready to illuminate any and everyone in her presence.
Céline cherished music. Most of all, she loved to sing. Margaux played music for Céline and Titan at home and in the car every single day. Céline was a predestined songbird. Her Mama always knew from a very young age, that she would name her daughter after one of the world's most prolific songstresses, Ms. Ella Fitzgerald. Céline was a walking karaoke machine. She would not hesitate to belt out "A Whole New World" for anyone who requested it. She was always ready to make those she loved…happy.
In addition to her melodic spirit, Céline's prodigious appetite for learning was remarkable. The way in which she expeditiously grasped new concepts and linguistics was astounding. Céline loved going to school. She had fun with her classmates at Bean Sprout’s Academy and was immensely adored by her teachers, extended family, grandparents, and most certainly her beloved parents and brother.
We will undoubtedly miss the light from Céline's eyes to ours on this earthly plane, but we will unceasingly bask in her eternal luminescence that will shine from our hearts forevermore.
Memories of Céline will always be cherished by her mother and father, Margaux and Quentin Sanders; her brother, Titan Sanders, and grandmothers, Cheryl Myers and Mary Sanders. She also leaves many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins, teachers, and classmates who loved her dearly.
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and for me
-Alan Menken & Tim Rice

My sweet Angel,
I am so heartbroken of your passing. You were such a loving and precious soul, and you brought so much joy and light to our family. I will always cherish the memories we shared, especially the ones of you singing “Happy Birthday” to me and I will also treasure your beautiful voice singing, ”A whole new world” ,which always made me smile.
You are in a better place now, where you are with the angels singing in heaven. I know that your beautiful spirit will always be with me. You will forever be in my thoughts and prayers, and in my heart. I love you so much, my sweet angel.
You are my precious babydoll and I love you dearly.

Quentin and Margaux,
You have our condolences. Our little sunshine is with Jesus Christ in heaven. I pray God give you peace and comfort in knowing she’s in a place praising God and singing now with the angels. We love you all and will continue in prayer for everyone. ??????❤️❤️❤️ -
I am the mother of Fayth Taylor, she was one of Celine’s friends in Peppers and Carrots. I remember Celine would always hug and kiss Fayth when I would come pick her up. She was the sweetest little girl. I am praying for the family as well as those from Beansprout Academy that will miss her. Rest in Heaven ?
