We are so sorry for your loss.

Dear Lee,
Judy and I are so sorry to learn of your mother's death and wish to extend our sincere sympathy to you, Vicki, and your family. We know how deeply one feels the loss of a parent and have found it somehow helps to hear from friends at times like this. Our prayer is that you are experiencing God's sustaining grace in a meaningful way at this time.

Lee & Vicki,
I am sorry for your loss, I have fond memories of Cee. She was truly one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met and no one, and I mean NO ONE can make chicken salad like she could!
Lee, she'll be an angel on your shoulder and you'll find yourself communicating with her, without the worry of her well being. She's up there getting things ready for the rest of us!
With Love, Cissy

Ce was my friend, We shared many adventures together; she always made me laugh. We went together to adopt her cat ,"CALI", She loved Cali like her own children. Once we went to the SPCA petting zoo with another friend, Bob Champine, An ostrich attempted to attack Bob (who was in a wheel chair). When Ce saw this she went after that animal with a vengeance. That animal knew Ce meant business. We laughed until we cried. Ce taught me to love unconditionally. She was my hero. Lee and Vickie, thank you for sharing her with me.

Lee, Janet and family- I have wonderful childhood memories of your mother. I loved running across the street to spend time at your home, hearing her sweet little laugh, her love of Zsa Zsa, admiring her dedication to her walking, and all of her many gentle ways. She raised you to be such awesome people. In sadness and from my heart.... I'm blessed she was part of our family. God bless you all and bring you peace. Love, Susan

I met Mrs. Hauser more than forty-five years ago. What a sweet lady. She and my late mother-in-law were best of friends. It was both a pleasure and an honor to have known her.

			NEWPORT NEWS - Cecelia Inglis Darracott Hauser of Newport News, died on January 14, 2013. She was born in Petersburg, Virginia on December 5, 1925, and lived in Colonial Heights for most of her childhood. Cecelia was the daughter of the late Charles Risdon Darracott, Sr. and Katherine Boisseau Cousins Darracott. Cecelia's father died when she was eleven years old, so her oldest brother, Charlie took on the responsibility of providing for the family and found employment with the Newport News Shipyard. The Darracott family moved from Colonial Heights to Newport News, where Cecelia attended Newport News High School and graduated on February 4, 1943. She married Alfred W. Hauser in 1944 and their children, Lee and Janet were born and raised in Newport News.

She also had a love and compassion for animals that she affectionately called "critters", but the greatest joy and love of her life, were her children and grandchildren. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and she will always be remembered as a loving mother and grandmother. Cecelia was preceded in death by her brothers, Charles Risdon Darracott, Jr. and Dabney Cousins Darracott.
