Charlene Long Obituary
Born on Aug. 30, 1960, in Wilkes-Barre, Charlene was the daughter of Robert R. Long, of Swoyersville, and the late Carol A. (Minnick) Long, who passed away on Aug. 19, 2011.
Raised in Swoyersville, Charlene was a graduate of the former Bishop O'Reilly High School, Kingston, Class of 1978. She was an active member of the class reunion committee.
Charlene was the president and CEO of CM Long and Associates LLC, Schwenksville. Additionally, for 31 years, Charlene was the finance director for various Philadelphia area car dealerships, most recently, Del Toyota, Thorndale, Pa.
A woman of many enjoyments, Charlene enjoyed cooking, gardening and hosting many "shindigs" at her home. Traveling was one of her greatest passions, and she always enjoyed spending time with her family and friends seaside.
Most of all, Charlene had a great love and devotion for her family, friends and her pets, Prince, Ricky, Lucy and the late Buster Brown. It was known by many that Charlene loved to pamper and spoil her beloved nieces and nephews. Though her presence will be deeply missed, her loving and generous spirit will forever live on in the hearts of her family and friends.
In addition to her father, Robert R. Long, Charlene is survived by her sisters, Carolyn Long, of Laguna Niguel, Calif., and Christin Meighan and her husband, Tom, of Forty Fort; her companion, Kristian Gallagher; her nieces and nephews, Kelly Meighan, Thomas Meighan, Katy Meighan, Dylan Yepiz, Katrina Yepiz, Mateo Yepiz and Ali Yepiz; and many dear friends.
Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend a memorial funeral Mass, which will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Thursday in St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish, 116 Hughes St., Swoyersville, with the Rev. Richard J. Cirba, family friend, officiating.
Those attending the funeral service are kindly asked to assemble directly at the church on Thursday morning, as there will be no procession from the funeral home to the church.
Interment with the Rite of Committal will follow in Chapel Lawn Memorial Park, Dallas.
Family and friends are invited to call 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Wroblewski Funeral Home Inc., 1442 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort.

I first met Charlene when I purchased a car from Tri-County Toyota. She was so helpful. Several years later I was fortunate to work at the same dealership with her. I worked with her for several years. She was so much fun. No matter how bad the day was going she could always make you smile. I'm so sad to find out of her passing. I have so many fond memories of her. I'm glad she had been a part of my life. Condolences to her entire family.

August 28,2013 To Christian,Bob and family, I am very sorry to learn of Charlenes leaving us.I only learned of this today. We worked together for years at Savage, She was one of the most generous people I ever met. Charlene was my matron of honor in New Orleans when we got married and I will always remember her like the time in Punta Canta we had no power and Charlene and Joe almost set the place on fire. You are so special I will never forget you.

God Bless you Mr.Long, Carolyn, Chris and family. I have very fond memories when I was a kid of hanging out with Charlene at your house and swimming in your pool. Charlene and I gave the nuns at Bishop O'Reilly a run for their money and I have warm memories of that also!! Charlene's light burned brightly and will continue to burn in the memories of all those who loved her. I wish you all peace in your minds, hearts and spirits.

WAS SO SAD TO HEAR ABOUT CHARZIE'S PASSING. I WORKED WITH HER AT SAVAGE HYUNDAI. SHE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE ON HER FACE AND WAS SO FULL OF LIFE. I MISSED HER WHEN SHE LEFT FOR A DIFFERENT JOB. WE BOTH GREW UP IN WILKES-BARRE AND OFTEN REMINISCED ABOUT THE OLD STOMPIN G PLACES THERE. CHARZIE, YOU WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED.

To the Long family. Losing someone that we love is very difficult, but it is really comforting to have close friends and family to help us cope with this pain. I hope you find peace as time passes. Philippians 4:7 says: "the peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts".

I found out about Charlene Sunday afternoon. I was absolutely dumbfounded. My most sincere condolences to you Mr. Long, Carolyn & Christin. I remember Charlene from our days at Holy Trinity. I would see her when we were walking home from school. She was chewing gum and laughing - and what a big, bright smile! May you find solace in the many memories she shared with you.
