Obituary

Charlene Esther Wilbur passed away Sunday, January 24, 2016. She was born in Santa Monica, California, on February 22, 1962, to William (Bill) and Loreen Wilbur, and lived the majority of her life in the Pacific Northwest with her children: Christal Wilbur, Felix Wilbur (Angela Maguire), and Felicia Lowe. Charlene is survived by her parents, children, grandson Felix Maguire-Wilbur, siblings: Raymond Wilbur (Pam James), Nadine Wilbur, Joseph Wilbur (Yolanda Felix-Wilbur), numerous nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents, James E. Solomon, Lucy (Phair) Solomon, and John & Esther Wilbur; her nephew Joseph Felix Wilbur, and cousin Erin Solomon; her uncles, John Wilbur, Pat Wilbur, Frank Wilbur, Tony Wilbur, and Craig Solomon; and her aunts, Dee Dee Eaton, Geraldine Eileen Cordero, and Rosalee Solomon.

Charlene was a loving mother who valued spending time with her family, entertaining loved ones, and cooking her signature dishes. She loved being a grandmother to her beloved Baby Fee, and bringing her family together through her love for games, especially croquet. A spirited competitor, Charlene enjoyed winning—especially against her sister, Nadine.

As a new student at Northwest Indian College, she quickly became a favorite amongst her classmates, always prepared with snacks and treats to share with her friends. Charlene was a collector of crystal who loved listening to music, capturing moments on her phone, pole fishing, boating, camping, and being in nature.

She had a genuinely loving and welcoming heart, and will be missed by many.

A prayer service will be held on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at 6pm, and a funeral service on Thursday, January 28, 2016 at 10am. Both services will be at Wexliem Community Building.
