Throughout the years she has kept close ties with many of the children and their parents. She enjoyed reading current news as well as following Cardinals baseball and Colts football with her husband and grandkids. Above all, however, Charlene enjoyed sharing time with family. She was devoted to her husband, children and grandchildren, always putting their needs above her own...serving and giving to the utmost. This gave her great joy!
