Charlene Marie Fahy

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Charlene Marie Fahy, a beloved mother, devoted friend, and spirited soul, who began her life on August 8, 1934 and ended her earthly journey August 8, 2025 at the age of 90.

Her husband, Francis "Frank" Fahy preceded her in death August 8, 2014. Her brothers, Stephen and Bernard Joseph Gallenstein also preceded her.

A devoted mother, she nurtured her children with the same unique and eccentric spirit that made her an extraordinary individual. She was not merely a mother; she was an unwavering source of support, laughter, and wisdom, guiding her children through life's ups and downs.

A devoutly religious woman, Charlene found solace and joy in her faith, which always guided her and inspired those around her. She had a particular affinity for Elvis Gospel songs, often filling her home with the sounds of faith that echoed her own beliefs. Her passion for music and her unwavering devotion left an indelible mark on her loved ones. As we remember Charlene, we reflect on her remarkable ability to light up any room with her distinctive character and love for life.
