A stem cell transplant took place in early May which was the only option left to cure this illness and extend her life. Charlene went to the Lord very peaceful in her sleep with her husband holding her hand, loving her then as he did all their life together.
Charlene was a very giving, selfless person with a strong love of life. She gave of herself completely and had an uncanny ability to make others feel special. She listened and cared for all those around her and made the most out of any obstacle life would present. Her gentleness and grace were unmatched and her creativity came alive in everything she did; knitting, beading, gardening, cooking and her natural ability to transform a house into a home. Her grandchildren adored her for her childlike nature and playfulness. Above her fireplace floats a fairy holding a feather outstretched granting everyone their hearts’ desire. Happiness for others was her greatest wish.
Charlene was the daughter of the late William G. (Bill) Harris and Anita Elizabeth Harris. She is survived by her husband of 41 years, Richard Heinz Buchmaier, daughters, Erica Deanne Standard and Kristin Anita Cascio, sister Suzanne Kristin Roy and her husband Robert Eugene Roy, brother W. Gregg Harris and his wife Andrea Burke-Harris and sister-in-law Ellen MacLellan. She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren Kyle Richard Standard, Megan Kristin Standard, Elizabeth Erica Cascio and Anaka Nichole Cascio, her nieces Camille Yvonne Heistand, Gwyneth Anne Harris, Jennifer MacLellan and nephews Gavin Wesley Harris and Robert S. MacLellan.
A private family service was held at the Mountain View Funeral Home in Blairsville with Father Tom Martin followed by cremation. A memorial event will be held in the fall which was Charlene’s most favorite season. To honor Charlene’s life friends may make contributions to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society or for beautification projects at Saint Clare’s Episcopal Church in Blairsville.
