Clare Charles Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 12, 2025.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes...neither shall there be anymore pain. Revelation 21:4
Clare Teresa Charles, age 70, went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ early in the morning of November 11, 2025. She passed away under the loving care of the staff at IU West Hospital after a lengthly illness.
Clare was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Lisa Arbuckle. She is survived by her husband, Dave Charles, her son-in-law, Shawn Arbuckle, granddaughter, Abby Arbuckle, three sisters, Millie, Lourie, and Alma, as well as multiple nieces and nephews.
Clare is sorely missed by her loved ones but is certainly thrilled to be with her Lord Jesus in heaven forever!
A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
