Charlene was loved by so many. She had two daughters of her own and a step daughter but she raised more children than she could count. She opened her home and heart to everyone she knew. She was a brave and strong woman up to her very last breath. She fought a lot of battles in her life but lost her final battle to cancer after four long years on September 16th. She passed peacefully in her home surrounded by her family. She will forever be missed by all who knew her.

She was my second Mama and always made me feel like part of the family. My heart is with her and I know I will see her again. Praying for peace and healing for the family with all my love.
Johnelle and Jack Pauley says
So sorry about the loss of Charlene. Our family knew her through our mutual love of Little League Baseball.
Charlene was always available to help players, parents and concessions.
May God find pleasure in the presence of His child and may she rest in eternal peace.
