Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Scott Arabie, siblings, Denny Nougle, Darlene Mack, and Janet Nougle; and grandson, Evann Arabie.
Charlene will be remembered with deep respect and enduring gratitude for the steady devotion she gave to those she loved. To her family, she was the greatest mother and grandmother—present in the ways that mattered most, with a constancy that made others feel supported, seen, and cherished.
Her love for family shaped the rhythm of her days and the legacy she leaves behind. Charlene never missed a sports game for her children and grandchildren, showing up time and again with pride and unwavering encouragement. At home, she found quiet joy in crocheting, creating with patient hands and a generous spirit.
Most of all, Charlene loved spending time with family, and that love will continue to be felt in the memories shared and the bonds she helped strengthen across generations.
