Charleen was born in High River on February 4, 1950, and grew up in Longview. At the age of 14, during the summer, Charleen went to work for a local farmer, Ralph Nichols. She cooked and baked meals on an old wood stove, for Ralph and his hired hands.
Charleen married her soulmate and love of her life, John, in 1976 and lived in Black Diamond where they raised their boys, Buster and Jim. Charleen graduated from Turner Valley High School, then went on to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). She worked in the Fort McMurry Hospital, the old Turner Valley Hospital, and the Rockyview General Hospital. Later in her career she worked at the Oilfields Hospital as an LPN and in the physio department for many years. Charleen’s true calling came when she took several courses in the holistic healing field. She had many talents with her healing abilities, both physical and emotional, that positively impacted many clients, friends, and family who went to her for help. She had a way of making everyone feel special and loved.
Charleen had some big obstacles with her health over the years, but always remained positive, and fought hard with determination, perseverance, grace and courage.
Charleen cherished her family and friends and would do anything for them. She had a special spot in her heart for her grandchildren and great grandchildren, and her face would light up so proudly when talking about them. Charleen welcomed everyone with a big smile and an even bigger hug. Her laugh was contagious and everyone around her felt her positive energy.
Charleen loved camping, playing cards, a fun game of beads, or making special birthday greeting cards.
Charleen will be remembered for her healing powers, her generosity, and her ability to make everyone feel loved and welcomed. Her love will forever be felt, and her memory will never be forgotten for all who were fortunate enough to know her.
