Charlene Dumas Obituary
August 8, 1990 - July 20, 2021
Monticello, NY
Charlene Mary Louise Dumas, was born on August 8, 1990, in Brooklyn, NY to Alvin Dumas, Jr. and Mary Elizabeth Jenkins. On July 20, 2021, after just 30 short years, Charlene's work on earth was done and she passed away at her home in Monticello, NY.
Charlene attended the Monticello Central School District and over the years she was employed at ShopRite, Sureway Taxi, Yellow Cab, and most recently as a School Bus Aide at Rolling V in Fallsburg, NY.
Charlene was an avid seamstress and could sew anything! She also loved to write poetry and enjoyed music, especially the music of the 70s and 80s. Old classic movies were her favorite pastime, which she loved to watch with her father, and she could recite the funniest parts of the movies and could imitate the characters. Out of all of her favorite movies, she only had one superhero, which was her father. She was proud of everything he did in the community. She was thankful for her mother and knew that without her mother, her presence on earth would not have been possible.
Charlene was a member of the New Beginnings Church in Ellenville, NY, under the leadership of Pastor Dhasan McComb.
She is survived by her parents, Alvin and Mary; one brother, Daquain; two sisters, Katrina and Denise; four nieces: Angel, Skye, Sophia and Egypt; one nephew, Jovanni; and a host of aunts, uncles and cousins.
She was predeceased by her paternal grandparents, Alvin, Sr. and Lucille Dumas; maternal grandparents, James Carter and Betty Jenkins; one uncle, Warren Dumas, Sr.; and four aunts, Elizabeth, Louise, Sonia, and Deborah.
Family and friends are invited to gather on Monday, July 26th at Bethlehem Temple Church, 93 Fairground Rd., officiated by both Pastor Dhasan McComb and Pastor Ryan Tinsley, Sr. The viewing will be from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., and the funeral service will begin 12 p.m.
Arrangements under the direction of the VanInwegen-Kenny, Inc. Funeral Home of Monticello. For additional information please visit www.kennyfuneralhome.com
