Celeste Marie Hryniewicki, age 62, died on May 26, 2024. Her final moments were spent surrounded by her children and family. Celeste is survived by her four children Erika, Jessica, Matthew, and Alicja, as well as her sister Denise and Grandchildren Christian and Nico. She was known for being "Nani”.

Celeste was the heart of her family and home. She was a loving and devoted mother, wife, sister and grandmother. Celeste raised her children in Bay Ridge Brooklyn where she was married to her soulmate Waldemar Hryniewicki for 29 years, who preceded her in death in September of 2023.

Celeste was known for her hearty laugh and kind heart. She was a family-orientated woman with one of the most vibrant souls one could meet. Known for being the heart of her family, she will forever be missed.

Celeste’s family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life and to keep her memory alive by sharing a laugh and raising a glass in celebration of her journey home, not the sadness of her passing.
