Charmaine was born in Canora, SK on August 28, 1952, the second of five children. It was here that she spent her younger years and attended school before moving to Regina.

Despite being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012 she remained dedicated to her family and her will to fight her illness never ceased. Charmaine still put all her energy into her grandchildren, showing her love for her family and was always there when they needed her.
Charmaine was a beautiful, intelligent, independent, fun, creative, holistic, strong and determined individual. She was a wonderful, fun loving mother and grandmother. Charmaine enjoyed spending her time at her cabin with her sons and grandchildren. While there she enjoyed gardening, swimming and playing with the kids. She also enjoyed painting, Homeopathy and singing with her local choir (Vivace).
Charmaine will be deeply missed by her sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren. Her family all enjoyed her being a part of school celebrations, trick or treating for Halloween, Agribition and many more activities. Charmaine will continue to live on in the hearts of her family and grandchildren where she truly made a life lasting difference and showed everyone how to be a better person.
