Charleyne Roberts Wenatchee, Washington Obituary

Charleyne Roberts

Charleyne C. Roberts, 92, from Wenatchee, WA, died peacefully at her home on Thursday, September 8, 2016. Charleyne was born in 1924 in Tacoma, WA, to Arizona and Carrie Roberts. Ms. Roberts was a much loved home economics teacher. She taught in several high schools across Washington including Twisp, Kalama, Chehalis, Langly and finally Wenatchee, where she taught for nearly 20 years and ultimately retired. While teaching, she was also an advisor to many student organizations including Pep Club, Future Homemakers of America, Junior and Senior Class, Busy Bakers and many more. Ms. Roberts also spent three years as an assistant professor at the University of Manitoba in Winnepeg, Canada. She received her undergraduate and graduate degrees from Washington State University and was an avid Coug and a life time member of the Alumni Association. She was an active member of her church, where she was a Sunday school teacher and member of the choir. She enjoyed gardening, baking, music, swimming, sewing, quilting, needle work, crocheting and knitting, and loved sharing these with all those around her. If you knew Charleyne, you were most likely the lucky recipient of a yummy treat, canned peaches or a hand knit sweater and blanket. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Ari L. and Lewis G. Roberts; and her sister, Jacklyn Bodner. She is survived by her nephew, Ari C. Roberts and his wife, Kristal, and their children, Sydney, Madison and Chance; as well as her nieces, Irene Bodner and KayC. Pack. Services will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2016, at 1 p.m. at Brethren Baptist Church of Wenatchee.
