CHARLENE GRANO Obituary
August 7, 1958 - February 11, 2025
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Charlene Grano, age 66, on February 11, 2025 at the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre after a brief illness.
Charlene is survived by her son Ryan Pitre (Samantha); her grandchildren, Colton McLeod; Grayson, Brynlee & Berkley Pitre; Phoenix Pitre; Kale & Kamryn Appelkvist. She will also be lovingly remembered by her sisters, Debbie Grano and Tracey Donylyk as well as her many close friends and family.
Charlene was predeceased by her beloved son Steven Pitre; her brother, Michael Donylyk; her niece Jennifer McFarlane and by her parents, Arlene Donylyk and Robert Grano.
Charlene was born and raised in Fort William. Charlene treasured her family and friends and truly embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Nana. Charlene retired from WSIB after 30+ years. After retirement Charlene followed her passion for helping others and took great pride as a volunteer with Hospice Northwest and numerous other non-profit organizations where she would volunteer her time to help as many people as she could.
Charlene will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Thank you to all the doctor's, nurses & staff at TBRHSC for their excellent care of Charlene and for their guidance during this difficult time. Special thank you to her niece Jackie Werys, cousin Danielle Fabiano and all other family and friends that visited, called or sent messages - each of you held a special place in her heart.
Cremation will take place, with interment, at a later date in the summer of 2025 with family and friends.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Charlene's memory may be made to Hospice Northwest or Faye Peterson House.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the WESTFORT CHAPEL, 420 West Gore Street at James.

i am totally shocked and saddened hearing of Charlene's passing. I just sat and chatted with her about three weeks ago. We had been friends since our children were babies. She was such a sweet person and always talked so lovingly about her family. She will be missed.

I am shocked and sad hearing of Charlene´s passing. She and I were very close friends in our teenage years. When I moved away we were distant friends catching up when I was in town. She was a beautiful human. My condolences to her entire family. I will be doing some reflection of our wonderful times together. May she RIP.

So very saddened to hear of Charenes passing. She was one of the first friends I made in Thunder Bay back in 1970 on Mary St. She was such a kind and caring person. She will be missed. Sleep in peace Charlene.
