Celine was the first child of Guillaume and Marie Anne born in Canada.
Known to be a gentle person, she entered the Novitiate of the Sisters of the Saviour, the Order of the "Chanoinesses Régulières des Cinqs Plaies de Notre-Seigneur" on January 20, 1923 and took her final vows on August 4, 1925.
This excerpt from the volume "Anecdotes, Saint-Claude, Manitoba, 1892-1992" describes her entry into the convent and her short life thereafter:

With the intention of entering the teaching profession, she attended Normal School, but due to bad health, was unable to complete her training.
She died of Tuberculosis (aka, "Galloping Consumption").
-- With details taken from the book "Saint-Claude Families 1892-2016" and from a family history compiled in 1980 by her brother Jacques Dondo and his wife Virginie.
Of note:
Despite the birth date on the marker, she was listed in the 1906 census as being 1 month old (Item #188280), although no record of the registration of her birth has yet been found in the MB archives. This is most likely a reflection of the fact many local church documents were lost in a water event and were never transferred to the provincial authorities when records were centralized.
The marker, as is sometimes the case, is wrong, as are many other accounts of her life that reflect this same mistake.
