BREWER and BUCKSPORT Charlene Carrie Cole Robicheau passed from this Earth into the welcoming arms of her heavenly Savior Nov. 4, 2007, surrounded by loving family mem-bers, after a brief illness. Char-lene was born Jan. 1, 1930, in Bucksport, to Charles Edward and Beryl (Daggett) Cole. She went to Bucksport sch-ools and was a proud member of the Class of 1947 at Bucksport High School.

She was employed at Home-Gas, Brewer, for five years. She was also employed by the National Council on Aging, and Faith in Action, Bangor. She was a faithful and active participant in Penobscot Valley Church of Christ of Bangor. She volunteered at Manna Soup Kitchen and was a proud Troop Greeter at Bangor International Airport. She was a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. She was active up until her final illness and took great joy in her flower and vegetable gardens.
