Woodson and Gianna L. Woodson. Cellus has a large extended family of siblings, in-laws, aunts and uncles, and cousins to support Chrissy and his girls.
He was a graduate of Buckingham High School, and also attended Kutztown University. He was currently serving as a Crisis Interventionist and Staff Mentor for KidsPeace in Schnecksville. Cellus was everything "sneakers" wearing them, collecting them, trading them, he knew the game.
You don't co-mingle with a McCarroll unless you prescribe to being a diehard Notre Dame fan. Cellus drank the kool aid and became an ardent Fightin’ Irish and lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan.
Cellus held the role of father to the highest esteem. He and Chrissy navigated work schedules to provide their girls undivided love, safety, and attention. Let’s not forget all the singing and dancing as well….anything to make his girls smile. His presence will forever live on, yet he will be greatly missed.
