Charlene Annette Schaar

Such a tragic loss of such a beautiful person. Our sincere sympathy to all of the Schaar family.

I taught with Char for many years. I was sad to hear of her passing. She always had a positive attitude and a smile on her face. Martha Thomson

I was a classmate of Charlene's in elementary school and have sweet memories of her. After many years, we met again at a reunion for others who had attended DeWitt schools and since then she had kept in touch on birthdays and Christmas with her wonderful Christmas greeting with photos of family.
