Celina Wu

December 4, 1945 - February 20, 2022

Celina Wu was born in Shanghai , China on Dec 4, 1945. She lived in California for 50 years since coming to the United States, and passed away in Talequah Oklahoma on Feb 20, 2022 at the age of 76. Celina was the first woman in her family to read and write. She often spoke of growing up well loved by friends and neighbors in her childhood, and having a good life in which she was cared for by others. Born at the end of WWII, she grew up in a brief window of peace in a turmolic time in Chinese history. Her mother sold the family radio, their lifeline to the world, to pay for her education. She fondest childhood memories are her friends in all girl’s high school in Shanghai, with whom she did recreational gymnastics and late night city wanderings. She dreamt of being in the Chinese women’s opera. Her parents fled China during the communist takeover and she followed them some years later to linve in Hong Kong, until she married her husband Francis Fritz Wu, and moved to California, became an American citizen, and lived for 50 years and raised two children. She loved to sew, embroider, be athletic and creative, and after she came to receive the Lord in mid-life, to read the Bible daily. She was highly involved with her children in their early years. In later years, she was incredibly active with her church, commuting to volunteer daily in the church bookstore, and cooking a weekly feast for their weekly potlucks, forming many close relationships. She was open-minded, adventuresome, and touched many people, with a good sense of humor and an open smile. Like her children who cared for her, she cared for her own parents before their passing. She is survived by her daughter Eveline Wu and her son Douglas Wu, who lives in Tahlequah, who love her deeply. Some of the people in this community have had the chance to meet her. Doug would very much appreciate for you to come share your memories of Celina at her Talequah funeral at Green Country March 2 at 2pm. There will be a viewing prior to the service that morning. Also please join in sharing your remembrances of Celina at the online tribute https://witswalkerworld.com/magical-mommy
