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

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.

    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 ?

Just by seeing a picture of Celine, we feel the love and radiance of her personality. We can look upon the stars and imagine Celine running around, playing, and just being happy.
    We pray God’s comforting spirit will dwell in your hearts, and give you peace knowing Celine is with the angels.
