Charline G. Whalen

Charline was the Kindest friend who was always there for anyone. She is greatly missed.

Charline is greatly missed. I looked forward to receiving her letters through the years, living far away. She always sent beautiful pictures and interesting notes pertaining to the history of Canton. But most of all, she greatly loved her family, far and wide, telling me if new babies as they came along. She was stoic and never complained about her illness but had faith she would Rest In Peace, as there is no doubt she has.

How I miss the beautiful notes from Charline, often with pictures of Canton's historical sites...I still look at them from time to time to remember her. While my visits to Conn. were infrequent, there would always be a lunch or dinner with her to catch up on our recent events. Her daughter, Kelly, was very kind to read my emails to her, as Charline was not about to learn computers, and I was not a good writer on paper. We both agreed my hand writing left something to be desired. There is...

Mrs. Whalen was my 2nd grade teacher and I grew tremendously in her class. Mrs. Whalen joyously saw me go on to practice law. I regret that I could not share the more recent successes with her. But it means the world to me that she continued to root for me even 25 years after I left her classroom at Canton Elementary School. Indeed, she came to my college graduation party. My sincerest condolences on her loss-we are all diminished without her. Thank you, Mrs. Whalen.

Charline was a beautiful person inside and out. Charline and Dick were great friends of my parents, Ann and Jack Mains. I have so many fond memories of them coming to dinner, laughing and having such fun together. I am so sorry for your loss. Heaven has gained a new angel. Fondly, Sally (Mains) Pardee and family. xo
