WATERVILLE – Charlene Henry, 81, of Waterville, died at her home on Sunday August 22, 2021, following a short illness.

She was born in Waterville on July 19, 1940, daughter to the late Raymond and Yvette (St. Peter) Loisel.

In 1957 Charlene was married to the love of her life, Phillip. They enjoyed 64 years together, working hard, raising five children and living a good life.

Charlene was a homemaker and worked as a cashier at local stores including A&P, John’s Market and K-Mart where her smile and kind manner were well known to all she served.

Charlene enjoyed knitting and crocheting and made sure every year her grandchildren were well supplied with Afghans, scarves and mittens. She also enjoyed playing Bingo. She had a very soft spot in her heart for animals and was a steadfast supporter of the Humane Society through the years. Traveling with her husband Phil brought Charlene a great deal of joy.
