Charlene G. (Evans) Webster 1941 - 2016
NEW HARTFORD - The smile. The laughter and the joy. Everyone who knew, and met her, couldn't help but become ensnared by her sweetness and charm. Charlene G. (Evans) Webster, 75, passed away, peacefully at home with her family by her side, on October 29, 2016.
She was born October 19, 1941, in Utica, daughter of the late Robert and Margaret Geary Evans.
She met the love of her life, Milton Lee Webster, when they were both at Clinton Central School. The high school sweethearts were married on August 9, 1959. Their love affair spanned sixty-one years.
She is survived by her husband, Milton Lee Webster; daughters, Margaret (Salvatore) Sparrow and Sharon (Robert) Thrasher; sons, James (Virginia) Webster, Michael (Noreen) Webster, Charles Webster and fiancé, Georganne Garnsey, Dennis (Kelly) Webster, and Mark Webster and special friend, Sue Flint; sister, Barbara VanDusen; brothers, Richard (Joan) Evans, Robert Evans, and Charles (Marge) Evans; sisters-in-law, Pat Evans, Beryl Evans, Sue Monaghan, and Betty Masner; brothers-in-law, Francis Clarke and Alfred Webster. She was also predeceased by sisters, Nadine Hanley-Ferrell, Deanna Clarke and Gail Ueltschi; brothers, Lawrence Evans and Douglas Evans.
Charlene was a loving mother to her children, and inspired them with her sparkling eyes, her bright smile and her sweet laugh. Her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews adored her, and lavished her with love and affection. She had a fondness of owls, with her spiritual animal flying her soul to Heaven where, once again, she's reunited and laughing with her beloved sisters, Nadine, Gail, and Deanna. Charlene worked, and retired from, the New York State office of Mental Health, and along the way had worked at Marcy "B" building and Pinefield, in Utica, where her kindness and love endeared her to co-workers and patients. She was a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the VFW at Clinton.
