Charlene met Ronald Evans when she was 16. Charlene and Ron married and were able to have two beautiful daughters, Christine and Paulette, and later were foster parents to Nancy and Lonnie Hanson and Ronnie Gadberry. They loved being parents and enjoyed traveling and boating with their family. Charlene's children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren were her greatest miracles and ultimate blessings from the Lord. She gave thanks frequently for her posterity and the chance God gave her to be a mother, grandmother, and great grandmother despite her health conditions.
Charlene was preceded in death by her eternal companion, Ronald Allen Evans, her parents Ernest and Roberta Ford, and her sisters Leota Jo (Len) Perry and Geraldine Joy (Robert) Townsend. She is survived by her daughters, Christine (Randy) Carling, Paulette (Von) McGhie, 10 grandchildren (plus spouses), and 30 great grandchildren. Many thanks to all those who helped to support her and her family as she began the process of departing this life. Your kindness is much appreciated. She will truly be missed.
