Camp.

Celia (and twin sister, Ophelia) were born January 14, 1941 in West Los Angeles to Joseph and Margarita Cordova.

Holtkamp), and to her husband, Andrew F. Holtkamp (“Andy” who passed away in April of 2022). She is survived by her daughter, Tina I. Melendez of Venice, California and son, Andrew P. Holtkamp, of Happy Camp. She is also survived by her grandchildren (Corrin Melendez, Joshua Mee, Aidan Holtkamp, and Sienna Holtkamp) and nieces and nephews, and special friends.

Celia will be laid to rest next to Andy in the Happy Camp Cemetery.
