Charlene Weir Obituary
Nov. 10, 1937-April 4, 2015
El Cerrito
Charlene Weir, El Cerrito resident for over 50 years, died April 4, 2015. She was born November 10, 1937 in Nortonville, Kansas, the seventh and youngest child of the late George and Clara Kettner. Charlene graduated from Hutchinson High School in 1955 and received her nursing certification from the state of Oklahoma in 1959. She settled in the Bay Area shortly after and had two children, Chris and Leslie. After an early diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis, Charlene abandoned nursing for a career as a mystery writer. Charlene's final novel, "Unknown Footprints," has been posthumously published. She is survived by four siblings, two children, six grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. A memorial will be held at 11:00 am on May 16 at St Alban's Church, 1501 Washington Ave. Albany CA 9470. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Milo Foundation.

I do not know if this message will get to Charlene's family, but I recently discovered her as an author and have read and really enjoyed her Susan Wren series. I just ordered her last book, Unknown Footprints. I am very sad that there will be no more. My sympathies to you.
