Charlene was born on December 29, 1941 in Blackwell, Texas. She graduated from Ira High School in 1960 where she enjoyed all sports, especially cheerleading and basketball. Charlene married Morris Light in Snyder on March 14, 1965. She graduated from Texas Tech University in 1972 with a Bachelor of Business Administration and received a Master of Education from Sul Ross State University in 1977.

Morris and Charlene raised their children, Larry and Leslie, in Snyder where she taught at Hermleigh High School and Western Texas College. She served on the SISD Board of Trustees for several years. Later in her career she worked as a counselor at Snyder High School, where she was passionate about helping students recognize their potential and achieve their academic goals. She retired in 2003. Charlene was also a long-time member of First Baptist Church.

As a loving wife, devoted mother, cherished sister, doting aunt and educator, she touched many lives. She was known for her bright eyes and beautiful smile. As Alzheimer's gradually took Charlene from this world, she never lost her sense of fun, kind-heartedness and love for music. All those who loved her are grateful she is now healed and at peace.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the nurses, aides and staff of Carillon House, as well as Angie Guzman, Patsy Terry and Adela Sanchez for the care provided to Charlene and for the kindness and support they have shown to her family.

The family request that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to D.M. Cogdell Memorial Hospital Foundation at P.O. Box 1181, Snyder, TX 79550 or Scurry County Friends of the Library at 1916 23rd Street, Snyder, TX 79549 or a charity of your choice.

Visitation will be held Tuesday, August 21, 2018 from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM at Bell-Cypert-Seale Funeral Home.
