  • I have so many memories of Charlene. Growing up next door, she and my mom would sit in the backyard with a cigarette and a cup of tea, chatting for hours. Charlene and Alicia also joined us on a few camping trips, creating many fun and cherished memories.

    As the years passed, Charlene and my mom went from talking about us kids to proudly bragging about their grandchildren, whom they both adored so much. Now I hope they are both up there, watching over our families, sitting together and having a cup of tea just like they used to.

    Charlene, you will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with Alicia, Josh, Paige, and Wes.

    Our deepest condolences,
    The Fennellys
