Karissa Sauer says
I am so sorry and heartbroken to hear about Charlie’s passing. I’ve known her since we were wild and crazy teens… she really did great things, rising to the top where she belonged. She was an amazing, strong, hard working person. I will never forget how relentless she was in her pursuit to help me and my husband find the right home to buy a few years back for which we will forever be grateful. We couldn’t have done it without her. I am so proud of everything she accomplished during her short time in this life, and proud to have called her a friend. My deepest condolences to Challise’s family and children, and everyone who loved her (there are so many).

Prayers to Charlie’s family. I have quite a few great stories about Charlie at golf these last 2 years. She was so full of life and very witty! My brother named his horse after Charlie (Chuck). She called my mother in law Momma Jewett. She made us all laugh and kept us on our toes! She entered into our family like a bullet, kinda the same way she went out. I am so sorry because I know she still had a lot to do. God Bless her and her family. May her memories keep you all smiling and bring you peace.

To Challise’s (Charlie’s) family,
We are saddened to hear this. Our heart felt Thoughts and Prayers go out to you. She was our agent when my now late wife and I were thinking of moving there. We were very pleased with her professionalism. She was very sweet and caring of our requests. My wife has passed since, and now God has another Angel by his side. I will continue to pray for peace and guidance during this time of loss.

Lonni Starcevich says
Charlie I cannot put into words how much you mean to me. I’ve known you just under a decade and you are one of my best friends. I’m completely broken. You’ve inspired me, built me up, made me laugh nonstop, offered me support, and always given me all of your love and friendship. We just “clicked.” I cannot and will not speak of you in past tense. You, my beautiful friend, are engraved in my heart for life. I love you and I miss you like crazy. Until we see each other again, all my love. Lonni.

Deepest condolences to Charlie’s family on your loss.
I’ve only known you for 3 1/2 years and this has been a tremendous heart ache on me since Friday. I can only imagine the pain of knowing you longer. You were so beautifully amazing , strong, outspoken, kind, huge hearted , plus so much more and so full of life .. .. and taken way way too soon. . . You definitely impacted everyone’s life you came in contact with… you were so amazing that way. There’s definitely an empty empty feeling within me, at Canyon Ferry Lake, even at the Dam Bar without you… You will be thought about, talked about, cried about and truly truly deeply missed everyday Charlie Bear. Rest In Peace and Fly High With The Angels….Love you Always Chic..

My mother and I are simply shocked at the news of Charlie’s passing. She was a remarkable woman full of love, light, and energy. It was a pleasure to be able to conduct business with her, and get to know her during our time in Helena. She deeply loved her family, and loved her community with a passion. Charlie definitely had a zest for life, and our hearts go out to her entire family at this time of grief and sorrow. Deepest sympathies. Charlie shall be missed.

Amy Marshall says
To The Family of Charlie,
My first encounter with Charlie was on the #1 T-box at Fox Ridge Golf course. She was anxious and told us we could play ahead. After a short conversation with her, I had her signing up for Women’s league. The first night of play she was so nervous and didn’t know any of the ladies. We golfed together and we laughed more than we played well. The other ladies had no idea what was in store for them either, ha! By year two, she had became quite engaged with ladies golf league & was very thankful she signed up. We spent many of times belly laughing and carrying on! Those who were a little bewildered by her sense of humor soon caught on to her contagious funny personality!
She will be greatly missed by the women at Golf League. Our heart breaks to know she will not be at the course next year with us and our fun gatherings afterward. We know she will be playing her heart out and telling jokes to the heavens above.
My condolences to the entire family of Charlie.
God Bless.
JoCee Eldredge and Jason Bradley says
We loved you as a dear friend and as our stellar real estate agent. You will be so missed hun. We will never forget you.
Kim Evans says
I met Charlie at Ladies League golf and soon realized she was the life of the party! She always had a smile on her face and wanted to make everyone around her laugh too. If you weren’t laughing or smiling, she would put an arm around you and soon you’d be laughing right along with her! She was a friend to all and she will sincerely be missed by all of us at league. God Bless her family and to you Charlie: Hit them long and straight in Heaven my friend! Thanks for all the laughs!! 💜✝️
Chase Abelin says

Chase says
The best times i’v ever had have been with Challise. One of the best friends i’ve ever had. Every single time we ran into each other was laughs and we just had a friendship I will never know with another person. I can’t believe i’m writing this right now. It seems so unreal. You were so genuine and unfiltered Challise. I will miss your smiling face till my dying day hun. Love you always!!!
Ryan Richter says
