Worked with Charlene, she was feisty and funny and always had good stories to share about her travels and loved ones, and beautiful artistic creations to gift. She also had a wealth of knowledge that she was always generous about sharing and I will never forget her and feel fortunate to have had the honor of learning from her. My thoughts and condolences are with her family and friends.
I was sad to hear of Charlene's sudden passing. My prayers, happy memories and thoughts go out to Lenox and to her family, I am certain she will be missed by all. Charlene was so kind and helpful to me when I started with BJC just 6 years ago--I've missed her since her retirement but thankful she had several years at home with Lenox. May God be with each of you during this difficult time.
So very sorrry for your loss. She was a wonderful kind woman and always had a sweet smile.
I worked with Charlene at BJC. So many wonderful memories of her beautiful infectious smile, her kindness, her warmth and many more. It breaks my heart to hear of her loss. Charlene's family, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Charlene and I worked together at BJC, and I got to know what an amazing person she was. I will never forget the warmth her smile brought to the office every day. I wish you and your family comfort during this difficult time.

I will miss Charlene so very much. I could always count on her infectious smile and that gleam in her eyes. Charlene and I rode together from work many times and we always enjoyed our chats; our chat fest we would call it. She loved to talk about her loving family and she was so very proud of playing the bells in church.
To Lenox and Family, you all are always in my prayers. Charlene lives on in all of our hearts which she touched so deeply.
I will miss you so much.

Sorry to hear of Charlenes death. I remember her always smiling and greeting you in the hallway with a big Hi Barb! Loved to hear about her travels. Prayers for the whole family.
Charlene was an amazing co worker and friend. Her zest for life, family and travel was always inspiring. I loved her painting of various objects later in her life and her love of cooking and her family cookbook. She will be missed and my prayer for the family is that joyful memories replace tears and that you find peace. Heartfelt hugs to you all. Lenox she adored you, her eyes just lit up everytime she talked of you. What a deep love. You are lucky to have had this and she was lucky to have you.
