Three years after being diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer, Charlene passed away peacefully in her sleep, surrounded by her three children, on Tuesday, November 19, 2019 at her home.
She was born August 16, 1951, at West Plains, Missouri, to Charles Edward Phelps, Sr. and Agnes Phelps. Charlene loved her family; her kids and grandchildren were her life.

Charlene was proud of being a Zizzer and loved West Plains so much that she drove from Springfield to West Plains to have her children. At the end of the day the most important things to her were her family and friends.
