My Nana was the best grandmother ever. So many great memories of growing up and spending time doing fun things with her. Crazy van rides with her and my grandpa Charlie. Canning tomatoes and pickles. We had so many adventures.

As a child, I always thought Charlene was such a pretty woman and my opinion never changed. She was always kind to me, funny and smart, and always cooked delicious meals from scratch. She was a devoted wife and mother. She has a place in my heart for always. Our hearts go out to this wonderful family, who will be in our prayers for a long time. John & Sandy Bybee
