Today we lost Charlene, a loving wife, life-partner and best friend to Charles Sipes for 35 years. She was a mother and a best friend to our daughters, Ashley and Lauren and grandmother (Gigi) to our 6 beautiful grandchildren. Brayden, Thomas, Payton, Abby, Reagan and Londyn.

Charlene was born in Hartford Connecticut but soon moved to Auburn Maine where she grew up. She was one of four children. Steven, George Jr (Jodie) and Marlene.

Charlene and Charles were married in August of 1992 and currently reside in Freeport Florida.

Charlene had a gentle strength about her, a presence that brought comfort and peace to those around her. She had a way of loving people that felt sincere and unforced, and she carried herself with grace, kindness, and quiet faith in every season of her life. Charlene was a shining light to everyone she met. Her love for our Lord Jesus Christ came through with every inch of her being. In her almost 4-year battle with this horrible cancer, she never once complained. She prayed for everyone else and was 100% certain and stood firmly on Gods promise to her that "You will live and not die and declare the works for the Lord". She had many dreams and visions of her new body and a new breast. We now know for certain that she will get her promises fulfilled when she enters heavens gates and the Lord welcomes her home to spend eternity with the heavenly angels praising Jesus.

Rest in peace my sweet. We love you.
