Rick, Kathy, Paula and all the kids, I am sorry for your loss. Charlene was such an encouragement to me down through the years of her being in the choir. I'm sure she sings with the angelic chorus now. My love to you all.
Rick and Paula sorry, sorry for the loss of your mother. She was always a very friendly person. I enjoyed knowing her and having the opportunity to attend church with her at Draxel. First church Of god you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow
Charlene was such a large part of my childhood. Playing in the backyard and sledding down the big hill behind the house on snowy days. I still have some of the crafts she taught us to make at Bible School. Charlene and Betty Cline and Nana Williams were a great trio of talent. Oh to remember all the Bazaars they worked on together . Paula, Lisa and me playing all over Drexel First Church of God while they each worked hard doing their very best!!!! You will be remembered and missed.
Sincere condolences to Charlene's family. She and my late mother Priscilla Fender Withrow were first cousins. Sincerely, Margot Withrow
