Charline, known as Charleny and Charlie to some, a giver and quite, wise soul was enjoyed and respected by not only family, but friends. Though, she received her respect at Home Interiors and was loved and provided for by Mary Crowley. She cherished all of her coworkers and their times together.. When she wasn't being the best mother, she was visiting and cooking for her grandchildren.
In her younger years, she adored water; having lived by the Atlantic Harbor in Belfast, Maine. She danced and played the piano and read any book she could get a hold of. She kept the sweetest, most cozy and immaculate home, where you always felt welcomed and loved. Her neighbors were angels.
Though we all know she worried too much, she now is rejoicing with Jesus and her three boys and best friend Peggy.
