Our hearts are broken. The horticulture majors at Del Val were a small group, but we were strong in friendship and love for each other. We were our own family. Charleen was a spark full of life and energy. She was editor of the yearbook, a daunting task she took on with pleasure. Whether it was pruning trees or making cider, we laughed and laughed! So many wonderful memories!
Dear Family and Friends of Charleen, I was heartbroken to hear of the passing of Charleen. I know our Lord is holding her in his comforting arms and helping her family and friends thru this difficult time. I can hear her saying that she hoped participating in a trial may help someone else. Always had a word of encouragement and exhibited such joy in our victories. I can see her clapping when I mentioned getting a part time job. Rest in peace dear lady. Gone, but never forgotten. Fondly, Garnetta Dauder

I have known Charleen since childhood. We lived in back of each other and our families were very close. I have many wonderful memories of Charleen and her family too numerous to mention. I know she was a dedicated daughter, sister and friend and she will be so missed. I was very saddened to learn of her passing. She maintained a very positive and upbeat attitude through her battle with cancer and while speaking to her, you would never know what she must have been going through. Charleen was a caring person to others even while battling her own illness. Charleen you will be missed. Rest In Peace dear Charleen.
My heartfelt condolences to Charleen's family.
Charleen and I started to work at DNA Plant Technology in Oakland CA in the same week, and remained in touch over the years.
Charleen's kind spirit will live on in my memory as the inspiration to always look for the positive path in life.

I have known Adele and Charleen since we were teenagers. Charleen and her Mom always came to all my concerts. Charleen always was there to talk to me on the breaks. We had good times. Charleen was a strong person who kept a positive attitude through the years she was battling cancer. She was always sending cards and pictures that her mom had saved of me and my family. Charleen loved to bake and would bring cookies to everyone. We will miss her visits! She was so dedicated to her students. She worked so hard to keep teaching no matter what she was going through. I am glad I was able to spend time with her and Adele these last few weeks when she was on hospice. Adele and Charleen were great sisters. They both cared so much about each other. Charleen always wanted to make sure her sister was ok. I am sure the Lord took her into his arms and said good job my child. Till we meet again Charleen.
Charleen was my friend at Stockton. She was always kind and encouraging, gave good advice, and had the best smile. She cared about every student. One of the little things she did was announce what national day it was for every lecture-today is National Cranberry Relish Day. Her biggest love was her family, and was so proud of her beautiful nieces, sweet mother, her sister who did so much, and aunts and uncles who were there for her. I am so sorry for your loss.
This is Michelle Kneipper. Charleen and I were friends from the University of Minnesota. We kept in touch via email, and her annual Christmas letter, which I waited impatiently for every year. This year there will be a huge void. She was a light shining brightly in the darkness. I will miss her dearly! I already do!
