I love you mom and I miss you. I know you are looking down on us and smiling 😀💋❤️Love you most ❤️
I miss her million dollar smile. I miss her laughter - especially at herself! I miss her gumbo. I miss her stuffing at Thanksgiving. I miss her energy!
But mostly I miss her unwavering support for me. Her imperfect son in law who she treated as if I could do no wrong ( so frustrating for Bridget!).
Love and miss you Charlene.
Aunt Charlene, you were one of kind. A visit to the Ahrens' house always meant one was for times filled with love, laughter, hugs, and last, but never least, ice cream!! And, when the Ahrens visited Austin, Aunt Charlene’s childish, gregarious nature always ensured good times as well. The Ahrens’ almost always stayed at the Chariot Inn off IH35. The establishment most likely received several complaints about the noise coming from their room as we were a noisy group when we got together. An activity that soon became a ritual was jumping on the beds. Never doubt, Aunt Charlene not only joined in the fun, but was the ringleader. I once asked her why we could jump on beds at the hotel, but not at home. She looked me straight in eye and said, “Hotels expect people to jump on their beds, but absolutely NO jumping on beds at home!”. And, she was serious, I mean, heads would roll if you dared sit on her bedspreads, much less jump on her beds!!
Love you, Aunt Charlene

Mom was an amazing bundle of energy! She lived her life fearlessly! Her courage was amazing! She loved her grandsons with all her heart! She also loved to laugh - even at herself! This is a gift she extended to us! She gave me my love of flowers! I miss her laugh! I miss her beautiful smile! I miss our wine and coffee meetings! I miss decorating with her! I miss her so much! She is "Home" now and so happy! I find peace in that!
We had many fun trips with Charlene and Jack. One especially comes to mind.
We always loved her "Charleneisms"
We were in Wimberly for the weekend. When we checked in, Charlene said this cabin is too hot! I am going to call the office. She was smoking, and was standing under the smoke detectror...and she told them that it was so hot in there, and suddenly, the alarm went off. Charlene said, "See, it is so hot in here the alarm went off."
We all had a good laugh, even Charlene laughed with us...as she usually did.
We really miss her, her love, her wonderful smile, and especially the over 30 years that she and Jack, and us celebrated our anniversaries together!
We have lost such a dear friend!

Charlene was a delightful contradiction...tiny, but an incredible powerhouse on the tennis court and in her faith and love for her family and friends. Her home was open and warm and you always felt special in her company. But I cannot speak.of Charlene without mentioning JOY! She brought it, wherever she went and shared it with everyone. She had an incredible sense of humor and that's what I will hold most dear in my memories of her. She and Jack raised 3 wonderful girls. The legacy continues. I pray for strength for her family. We know she is with God and Jack is again by her side and that is a comfort to us all.
What a precious person Charlene was! Her love of life and love of people drew everyone to her! I am one of her newer friends. We met about 12 years ago, but I felt as if we were lifelong friends. That’s the kind of person she was. Charlene loved to be on the go! We had many happy hours and then early dinners out- usually in Addison. We lived in the same complex and would often have wine and cheese in the late afternoons at Charlene’s apartment( decorated so beautifully by daughter Bridget.)We would often be watching a Cowboy game at our individual apartments. When they would score a touchdown, Charlene would always call and ring her cowbell!! I will miss her laughter and her love of life!!!
God be with you, dear friend.

One of my favorite memories was when the Cowboys were playing the Giants. As soon as the game was over pops, aka Charlie Lambert or as Aunt Charlene called him, Brother, would say(if the Giants won)," Touzie, get me the phone I need to call my sister". But if the Cowboys won, dad would say," well, I guess Charlene is going to call and tell me how great her Cowboys were". They always had such a fun sibling rivalry going on. I will miss her beautiful smile and her funny Charlene sayings. She was so much like her mother.

Charlene was so much fun to hang around with - we loved laughing & drinking wine with her on many occasions. She watched my kids grow up with Cody & Luke and they adored Mama. Charlene even partook in a little babysitting of Tanner (probably 3 years old at the time) shopping along with Bridget one day. When she decided to try on a pair of pants - they got the laugh of the day when Tanner said, “Wow - your black Mama!” He wasn’t used to a lil Louisiana lady!!
The Huth Family’s blessed to have shared in her & her families lives! RIP Mama - Love You
