Charlene Fay Rosskopf
Tuesday, November 15th, 1938 - Friday, October 14th, 2022 (age 83)
Charlene Fay Rosskopf, born November 15, 1938, in Hanford, California, passed away October 14, 2022, in Cedar City, Utah. Her parents were Winfield Kilmer and Harriet Verkuyl Kilmer. She was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, Donald, and her sister, Rae Birch. She is survived by her sister, Beverly Forbush, three children: Robert (Sybil) Rosskopf, Jerri (Thomas) Fuhriman, and Jennifer (Mark) Ganowsky, 9 grandchildren: David (Jennifer), Cari (Bill), Kelli (Jason), Derek (Elizabeth), Tyler, Beth, Nicole (Mike), Rose (Enrique), and Jenny, and her 17 great grandchildren. She loved and cherished time spent with each one of her family and was so proud of their many accomplishments.
Charlene came from very humble circumstances. She found the Gospel of Jesus Christ as a teen, joining the LDS Church, which then went on to greatly influence her life for good, as well as that of her family. Her favorite callings were teaching Relief Society and Visiting Teaching.
Charlene attended high school in Stockton, California, where she enjoyed participating in theater and acting in productions. After graduating from high school, she moved to Los Angeles where she met the love of her life on the beach. With a whirlwind courtship, they were engaged in two weeks and married six months later, on December 28, 1957. After Don joined the LDS church, they (and their first two children) were sealed in the Los Angeles Temple for time and all eternity on August 25, 1962.
Charlene loved all animals, but particularly dogs and horses. She was gifted at breeding both and producing champions. She was also an accomplished artist in sketching, oil painting, and ceramics. She had many interests, some of which were: bowling, square dancing, watching old movies, playing games, reading, and spending time with family.
Her accomplishments include graduating as a sign language interpreter, being TOPS Queen of California, and serving as a Docent at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, October 21, at the Enoch 5th Ward Building, 2233 East Village Green Road, Enoch, Utah, at 11 a.m. Family and friends may call Friday morning 9:30 to 10:30 prior to services. Interment will be at the Enoch City Cemetery under the direction of Heartlight Affordable Funeral Services.
The family wish to thank the many people that visited, loved, and served Charlene over the years, as well as the caring employees of Autumn Park. www.memorials.affordablefuneralservices.com
