Charmaine was pure of Heart and prayed for many of her community members. On her past time, she enjoyed being outside participating in activities with her grandchildren. She loved animals especially dogs and would always care for them to the fullest. Anyone who knew Charmaine, knew she loved to care for others and never met a stranger. She spent her life evangelizing and spreading Gods word to everyone.
