Cecine was born Cecine Elizabeth Cole in Springfield, Illinois. In her younger years, she hunted with her brothers, drove an ambulance, attended art school in Colorado. She loved new projects such as learning computers or repairing radios. Sometimes these objects broke after her involvement, but that never stopped her. Cecine was a lifelong artist, specializing in watercolors. In addition, she enjoyed sculpture, China painting, cartooning, pen and ink drawing, and colored pencil botanical illustration. She liked taking road trips, was an avid reader, and a big fan of computer Mahjong. Cecine had a whimsical - and on occasion, tactless - sense of humor. Her long life was attributed to good quality scotch, salmon, lots of candy and raw cashews.
