Peacefully went to be with the Lord Monday, November 19, 2012. Born, March 16, 1952 in Tulsa, OK, was a resident of San Bernardino, CA for a majority of her life until she moved to the West Cajon Valley in Phelan, CA to relax with her husband in the quite tranquility of the high desert and enjoy the beautiful view of the valley from her porch as humming birds and quail visited throughout the day. She is preceded in life by her infant son PJ and her mother and father, Versa Brier and Carl Lawson. She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 40 years Paul Lukasik, her daughter Vicki (Danny) Wood, son Adam Lukasik, and her 5 rambunctious grandsons, whom she all loved dearly, Brandon, Austin, and Shawn Lukasik, and Dylan and her “sweetness” Nathan Wood. Brothers Lester Pate and Howard Lawson and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Carlene was a proud Pirate who graduated from Pacific High School in 1970 and then earned and maintained her cosmetology license from the Marinello School of Beauty in San Bernardino. She was a bank teller for Bank of America main branch in San Bernardino for many years. She later became the secretary to the San Bernardino Fire Marshall leaving that position to be a homemaker for a short time. She proudly retired from the Federal Government for which she was a secretary at several locations including Ballistic Missiles on Norton AFB, DEFAS in Long Beach, and the Veterans Hospital in Loma Linda.
An American Legion Auxiliary member for over 30 years, she was a patriotic and proud American and her favorite holiday was the 4th of July when she would splurge on fireworks, have a block party and crank the music. She loved to dance and sing and share good times with family and friends. She was a collector of many many things but mostly beautiful porcelain dolls, music boxes, and Elvis memorabilia. She also loved to travel and enjoyed her visit to Graceland, Mt. Rushmore, Alaska, and Las Vegas to name a few. However, Niagara Falls, where her husband proposed to her and where they shared their 40th anniversary this past June was very special to her. Her love of life and spontaneity, her fire and frivolity will be dearly missed.
Visitation will be at Mt. View Mortuary 570 E. Highland Ave., Tues., Nov. 27 from 4-8 p.m. and the celebration of her life Wed., Nov. 28 at 10:00 a.m. with graveside service after.
