Charlene Lilly Hubenak
October 05, 1940 - September 17, 2020

Lily “Charlene” Hubenak was born in Cameron County on October 5, 1940 and enjoyed a full and happy life until her passing on September 17, 2020.

Charlene married the love of her life Fred Joe Hubenak on June 20, 1957 with whom she shared her lifelong dream for the next 49 years of providing love and care for their family until her husband Fred passed away in 2006.

Charlene centered her life around God, family and friends. She held a special appreciation for nature and greatly enjoyed sharing a simple country life with her husband and children. She was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in May 1975 and found great joy in sharing the teachings of the bible for the remainder of her life. To church members, family and friends she was well-known for her enduring happiness and bright smile that was contagious in most any setting. She was an eternal optimist who always found something good in all of life’s experiences. She was a lifelong student of nature and of people. Over the years she developed an uncommon level of wisdom that she was always happy to share with whoever asked for guidance or advice in life.

Charlene attended Edna High School where she became known for her beautiful voice and love of music.  She shared her musical gifts with all who enjoyed her angelic voice and frequently sang at local events and churches in her youth and was most notably recognized for her acapella singing.

Charlene greatly enjoyed interacting and offering support to all people she encountered in life. She had no pre-qualifier for who she offered her support, wisdom and care. She simply loved everyone she encountered along life’s journey. She was a giver of life and love and found her greatest joy in seeing the happiness she could bring to others. 

Charlene is survived by daughters Dianna M. Hubenak and Donna M. Coleman of Edna, adopted daughter Tracy Y. Braun and sons Ronnie W. Hubenak and wife Leslie Hubenak and son Mark D. Hubenak. She was blessed with several grandsons Justin Williams, James Dean Coleman, John Dale Braun, Steven Ward, Chris Ward and granddaughter Heather Hawkins.
