Celestia married Ralph Jacobus Fairbanks September 15, 1877, at Payson, Utah. They had 11 children: David Philo, Ralph Jacobus Jr., Lee, Joseph Earl, Vernon Morris, Lester Johnson, Celestia Adelaide, Estelle, Mildred, Floyd, and Zella Vonola.
A granddaughter, Nola Jo Modine (aka Nola Fairbanks) and a great-grandson, Matthew Modine, became Hollywood actors. Celestia's granddaughter Nola Fairbanks wrote, "My grandma, Celestia Fairbanks came to live with us when I was almost 14. She was ill with diabetes and blind at the time, but she loved to sing and I remember her singing the LDS hymn, "In Our Lovely Deseret". My grandpa, Ralph came back and forth from his business in the desert at first, but eventually, he came to stay as well."
