Eliane

Dos Santos

The world pauses to remember Eliane Dos Santos, who gracefully departed this life on July 10th at the age of 70, having bravely faced the challenges of cancer and other health concerns. Born and educated in the vibrant city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Eliane’s journey brought her to Chelsea and East Boston, where she built a new home for the past 35 years.

A cherished daughter of the late Firmo Pompilio Dos Santos and Maria Esmarelda Cruz de Dos Santos, Eliane was the beloved wife of Edward Celani for 17 years, her devotion to family unwavering and sincere.

Her professional path as a Certified Nurse's Assistant with Care Resolutions in elder care was marked by compassion and dedication. Eliane was also a gifted artist, expressing her creativity through the elegance of charcoal sketches and the vivid colors of oil and watercolor paintings, inspired by both still life and the abstract. Her early love for fashion and clothing design mirrored her lifelong flair and creativity.

Fluent in three languages, Eliane connected with those around her, leaving behind a legacy of love and warmth. She is dearly missed by her husband Edward, her sister Rosa, and siblings in Brazil, along with countless extended family members and friends.

To honor and celebrate her life, visiting hours will be held at Welsh Funeral Home, Chelsea, on Friday, July 17th from 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. As we gather, we cherish the indelible impact she left in our lives.
