I am really sorry for the lose of Mrs. Charleen. I met her when she had her husband at the nursing home. I took care of him. I recently started going to the same church that she went to and she always bought my baby books. He always loved the books. She was such a sweet lady. She will be dearly missed.

I've known Mrs. Charleen for the past 44 yrs. She was one of the first people I met when we were married & moved here. Attended church services with her for many years till we had to close & go to other congregations. Lived next door to her for 2 yrs. So I feel like she was a big part of my life. Her love for reading kept her close too. She came to the library on a regular basis. Sometimes on Monday mornings & occasionally on Wednesdays before going to the beauty shop. I will miss all our talks about life, politics, & especially religion. She was a delight to know & I will miss her.

Roland & Mrs. Charleen had a special friendship too. Everytime she saw him she gave him a big hug & that special smile. Good memories.
We pray that God gives you all strength & comfort at this sad time. We will keep her memories in our hearts.
Roland & Clara

I guess I have known Mrs Charleen all of my life. I was raised in church with her family, Paul spent a lot of time at our house with my brother Dennis, and just being close friends with all of our family. She was a very sweet Christian lady who will be missed a lot. Love & prayers to Paul & Jennifer and to all of the family.

Our entire family thinks the world of Miss Charleen. She has always shown us a happy pleasant Christian attitude. We truly believe her giving spirit is part of the reason she was so happy. Heaven will surely be her reward. May God give her family the comfort and peace they will need to deal with her passing.

Charlene was always pleasant to be around. She was always the same sweet person and took time to visit. Where ever I saw her, she always gave me that special feeling she was my friend. I will miss her.
Heaven has gained a true angel.
May you find peace and comfort with God's love.

Dear Family,
I have many memories of Charleen when we were both in school in Elaine. We even rode
the same school bus at the time. Though we
were several grades apart, I always admired
her and her beautiful curly hair.
Please accept our sincere sympathy in your loss. Ed and I both will pray for peace and
comfort for you in the days ahead. God bless
each of you. We know the service will be
very special and comforting. Our love,
