After graduating from Hemphill High School, Charlcye married the love of her life, Billy Barrett. They moved to El Paso where Billy was in the service, but eventually landed in Pasadena, Texas where they would start their family. They had two boys, Doug and Don. Charlcye was a faithful Christian mother who raised the boys in church at Thomas Avenue Baptist Church (later renamed Monument Baptist Church). She remained an active member of the church until her passing.
After retiring from State Farm Insurance, she and Billy traveled the country in their motorhome. They managed to see all of the states multiple times and they relished the thought of long trips together. When they were home, she devoted her time to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
