CHARLEY- Lena C. Charley, age 56, our beautiful and dedicated wife, mother, and sister, left her worldly surroundings to join her heavenly Father, on Monday, June 7, 2010. Lena is survived by her husband of 36 years, Andy Charley; sons Lawrence and Timothy; daughters Patricia “Patty”, Theresa, and Cindy; sisters, Mae Castillo, Bessie Rafael and Pauline Castillo; and numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was a devout member of Apache Avenue Church of the Nazarene for over 35 years. During this time she devoted her efforts to Women’s Ministries and loved working with Children’s Ministries as a Sunday School Teacher, Children’s Ministry Director, and adoptive grandmother. Our mother was best known for her radiant smile and sweet, kind disposition to family, friends and those blessed enough to cross her path. Lena could be seen driving her 1989 beige Ford Escort, which she named Herman, throughout town to attend a meeting, volunteer in her daughter’s classroom or give a ride to friend in need. She was master of bingo, a connoisseur of coloring and a fan of Gloria’s burritos. Lena will be greatly missed by us and all of those who did cross her path. Funeral Services for Lena will be conducted Friday, June 11, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. in the Chapel of Daniels Family Funeral Services-Alameda Mortuary, with Dr. Julian Gunn, officiating.
