Charlene Ferre Napier Obituary (1950 - 2006)

Our loving wife, mom, gramma and sister passed away peacefully on December 28, 2006 with her family at her side. Charlene was born to Keith and Rowena Ferre in Salt Lake City. She married her high school love, John in 1970. They enjoyed nearly 37 years together. She is survived by her husband, John; her children, Jason (Lisa) Napier, JaNae (Gary) Riness; her sweet granddaughter, Halen; her brother, Keith Ferre; her sister and best friend, Patty (Bob) Walker; aunts, uncles and other family members; dear friends, Larry Raines, Shallyn Smith, Suzy O’Connor and many others. She is preceded in death by mother and father; sister, Geraldine; brother, Lawrence and friend, Nora. Honoring Charlene’s request there will be no services held. Our hearts hold on to many precious memories of mom. Charlene was full of loving-kindness. She was a selfless woman who always had time for others. Mom enjoyed cooking enough food to feed an army. She would make peanut butter squares for Jason, waffles for JaNae and eggs for Dad and their dog Eisley. Dad smiles when he remembers how mom always used the excuse she was cold so she could cuddle with him. He never objected. Her little granddaughter remembers how Gramma loved to play and snuggle with her. We’ll always have great stories to remember thanks to mom. She loved sharing them with us especially ones about her trips to Patty’s house. A few famous quotes from Chuck… This ain’t my neck of the woods! • So that eliminates another weapon? • Look mom, it’s leekra! • I’m so over this dog. • What Texaco sign? • Yea, Right! Mom, we love you more than words can express! We are forever grateful we were able to spend two extra years with you. They weren’t the easiest years but they gave us some of the best memories.
