Charlene was an active volunteer in our community most of her life. She worked as a PSW for 28 years and her caring was greatly appreciated by many of our seniors. Charlene loved her family and enjoyed when her children and grandchildren came to visit, especially these last 2 years. She will be very much missed by her family.
A celebration of Charlene’s life will be held at a later date. Interment in Fairview Cemetery, Listowel.
