Charmaine was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She held many church positions and loved working with the youth.
Charmaine loved her husband, family and friends. Despite her many health struggles, she always put others first. She spent countless hours sewing, cooking and gardening. She will be remembered by her "made with love" Christmas pajamas for the grandkids, Sunday dinners, baked bread and fried chicken. Charmaine spent many hours in her flower gardens and loved to be in her yard. She had an eye for beauty, which was apparent in her gardening abilities.
