A true friend since 1973 she was always a supporter and prayer warrior to our family. I enjoyed visiting her when I was in Michigan , and continued to correspond via email, letters and by phone. She had the love of Jesus in her heart & it shined in her face. Musical notes are being played for her entrance into her heavily home. Peace to the family.

Ms. Pryor was my beloved Music Education teacher at Flora List. I always looked forward to Music class. My favorites to this day were the Fifty Nifty United States and of course the Christmas songs. She made such a difference in so many lives. I only wish I had told her. My prayers of comfort go out to her family and friends. God bless.

Sorry to hear that Charlene passed away. She was truly a wonderful person to be around. I always enjoyed listening to her share stories of her growing up in Grand Ledge and her telling me about some interesting teaching experiences she had come across during her time as a music teacher and how she handled those. She will be missed but I know she is in a better place now. Charlene yourr family is in my thoughts and prayers.
