Guerrero who also preceded her in death.

Charlene worked for the New Mexico Dept. of Labor for 30 years where she was a UI Claims Representative. She enjoyed these years assisting so many of her clients in finding employment and bettering their lives. Charlene's greatest loves in this life were her Catholic Faith, her Church and her travels worldwide. Her group tours brought her to almost every continent. She enjoyed the company of her fellow travelers as well as immersing herself in the many cultures of the world.

Over 100 world-wide trips brought her to all the countries in Europe, the British isles, China, Japan, numerous other Asian lands, Russia and Eastern Europe as well. Charlene visited most of all South American countries & explored Antarctica as well. She loved travel & cultures of every sort and enjoyed them by plane, rail, and sea, cart & camel!

Charlene was a woman who faced her life's challenges with a buoyant and generous spirit. She talked often of her travels, but rarely mentioned her quiet generosity to the many charities she embraced. her generosity extended to her charity to her Church, the Jesuit education fund, the Native American Missions, and many local charities devoted to abused women & children, homeless shelters, the list goes on & on. In all of her generosity, she adhered to the admonition of Jesus seen in the Gospel of Matthew 6:1.
