She was an incredible school counselor when I was a child. Her kindness and compassion drew me to her, as I’m sure it did countless others. I never got to properly thank her for being there. My heart aches for her family and friends.
Thank you, Mrs Nava.

Dear Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult of times.
Charlene made a difference in so many people’s lives throughout her many years of dedication to her students. I was fortunate to have worked with her at Clancy Elementary School and to witness the strong, but compassionate guidance that she gave to our students. She was a quiet force to be reckoned with! đŸ™‚ Charlene loved her family so much and talked of them every time we met. She was always glad to see me when I visited her at her Bee Hive Living Center. My daughter, Jackie, and Charlene’s husband Ray, met Charlene at the gates and welcomed her into Heaven.
Where there is sorrow, love plants a garden of memories! May Charlene’s garden blossom profusely.
Rest in peace dear friend, you are missed!
Marcia and John Allen says
Our thoughts and prayers are with Charlene’s family.
