Charlene Carol Blackwell
d. December 30, 2018
July, 1940 - December, 2018.
Charlene Blackwell nee Moat was born in Vancouver and studied at UVic and UBC. She was a much loved creative kindergarten teacher and then an elementary school principal in Kamloops. Stretching out into a new adventure she and her husband Gordon became owner/operators of a hotel, did some fix and flips and a number of jobs before she became a Casino manager. Charlene was a vibrant person taking on many adventures as a pilot of their own plane travelling up and down the west coast and sailing their boat around the Gulf islands. She was an avid reader, a lifelong student and a musician playing the piano for her enjoyment and with friends. Through times of difficulty Charlene kept a positive outlook and never gave up. Throughout her life Charlene liked to connect with people in her kind thoughtful way. This treasured lady will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 54 years Gordon, her two sisters Valerie and Bonnie and numerous friends.
Appreciation and gratitude is extended to the staff at Mount St Mary Hospital for the compassionate end of life care given to Charlene.
Donations in remembrance of Charlene may be made to Mount St Mary Hospital, 861 Fairfield Rd. Victoria, BC, V8V 5A9 or mountstmary.ca
