OBITUARY
Our beloved mother, Celia Cobian, passed away on July 27, 2026. Born in Tenango, MX and raised in nearby Tonaya, she married Liborio Cobian in 1953 and emigrated legally with their two sons to San Diego’s North County in 1959, with support from sponsors Jack and Gertrude Merget. The couple settled in Vista where they raised their eight children and gained American citizenship.
Celia worked 30 years at her local Catholic church supporting the Spanish-speaking ministry. Celia was a devoted mother and is cherished by her close-knit community of friends. She is mother of eight (Walter, Miguel, Irma, Daniel (deceased), Alicia, Edith, Gabriel, and Cynthia) with 17 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.
