It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Charlene Marie Trautner, on January 26, 2020 at the age of 82 years. The second of four children born to Charles and Theresa Tobias on April 8, 1937 in San Francisco.

As a devoted Catholic, Charlene lived her life with an unwavering faith in God, a heart filled with love, peace, and forgiveness.
Charlene is survived by her sister Barbara Sturla, two brothers Charles Jr. and David Tobias, her children, Michael Trautner, Julie Post, Annette Edelenbos, Joseph Trautner Sr., Herbert Trautner III, his wife, their spouses, ten grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, and many nephews, nieces and cousins.
