Charlene Dean's Obituary
In Loving Memory of Charlene Dean- March 7, 1949 – October 18, 2025
Charlene Dean, a radiant soul whose presence enriched the lives of all who knew her, passed away peacefully on October 18, 2025, at the age of 76.
Born on March 7, 1949, Charlene was a woman of grace, intellect, and quiet strength. Educated and articulate, she carried herself with a no-nonsense elegance that made her both deeply respected and deeply loved. Her mind was a wellspring of insight, nourished by her lifelong love of reading and her gift for listening with intention and care.
Charlene was a loving companion and a steadfast friend. She had a way of making people feel truly heard, and her warmth lingered long after conversations ended. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life—especially in good food and the sweet delight of black and white cookies from Trader Joe’s, which she adored.
Her appreciation for beauty extended to the past; Charlene had a passion for antiques and cherished her antique pie chest, a symbol of her reverence for history and craftsmanship. It stood in her home as a quiet testament to her refined taste and sentimental heart.
Charlene’s legacy is one of love, wisdom, and authenticity. She will be remembered not only for who she was, but for how she made others feel—valued, understood, and uplifted.
She is deeply missed and forever held in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her.
