Note: this memorial updated March 21/22, 2019 with name change per edit request. Although the obituary and headstone inscription only use "Charlene" alluding to a first name, it turns out that per the edit request and inspection of her 2009 Jefferson County (Iowa) death record (by this contributor) that the first name was indeed "Alva" and the middle name "Charlene". Accordingly, this memorial is being changed on March 22, 2019 to use both of those names, in that order. While doing so may create problems for those searches of her memorial using just "Charlene" as the first name, given that the death record is a valid state vital record this change is warranted, but with that caution. rkt/3/22/2019
