Ceyon married her husband, Romney on June 30th, 1957. The union produced four children, a daughter and three sons. 

Ceyon worked with the Postal Service of Jamaica for more than twenty five years. She was one of the youngest Postal Service employees to advance to the portion of  Postmaster. She migrated to the United States in 1979 and settled in Montclair, New Jersey with her husband, Romney and their four children. She worked at Merrimac Industries in West Caldwell for approximately ten years before the Company downsized and closed the department in which she worked. She went to work at Chrill Care as a Home Health Aid in the early to mid nineteen nineties before retiring. 

She enjoyed farming, sewing, crocheting and quilting. She always kept a garden where she would plant an assortment of herbs and vegetables. She crocheted doilies, hats and table clothes for family and friends. She developed an interest in quilting in her later years and was able to make several intricate designs.
