She is preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Mary Alice Bowers; sisters, Debbie Shaver, Cheryl Jennings, and Violet Holland. Charlene loved her family fiercely. Her proudest achievements were her roles as mother and grandmother. She was known to her four grandchildren as Nonna. She was a caregiver to each of them as infants – while her daughters worked. She was incredibly proud of her daughters and her grandchildren and she would tell anyone willing to listen - all about them. She always told her grandchildren that she loved them “to the end of the numbers” and she meant it. She was a woman of many talents. She loved to sew, knit, and crochet. Many gifts that she gave were handmade, with lots of love. Her family is comforted by the fact that she is no longer suffering, and she is in the presence of her Savior. Honorary pallbearers will be Logan Johnson, Jonathan Shaver, Mark Rivera, Ern Mondabaugh, and Greg Mondabaugh.
