Charlene P. Gilliam

April 28, 2018

Charlene grew up in Tennessee one of 10 children. Along with her parents and siblings she worked hard picking cotton, tobacco and other crops. She helped her mother Ella Mae with her younger siblings. Charlene always put family first. She would do anything to help family or friends. Loyal, strong, loving, stubborn, generous, patient, wise–Charlene was all those and so much more.

Her children were her life. She raised them mostly by herself. When times were hard, she made sure her three babies always had food, clothes and anything they needed. She made sure they knew she loved them.

Charlene left us suddenly, but she is not really gone. She is a part of everyone she touched in this life. She will be waiting for us in Heaven with those who have gone before her. She was a member of Harvest Christian Center Church in Cantonment, FL.

many extended family members; nephews, nieces, grandnephews/nieces, in-laws and others who will miss her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles Walker Page and Ella Mae “Rose” Page; and her siblings, Jean Butler and Robert “Bobby” Page.
