Over the years, she became an expert at raising bottle calves, having up to 20 at a time. The local vet once said, "if you have a question on bottle calves, go ask Charlene." While maintaining their home, tending to livestock, and she also did all the bookkeeping for their farming operation. But no joy was greater than when the family was blessed with two grandsons. Even as the disease took her mind, it never took her love for her family.
