Betty "Charlene" Ward, 77, passed away Dec. 29, 2020 in Bentonville, Ark. She was born Aug. 13, 1943 in Ypsilanti, MI., to Willis Henry Howard and Iva Evlyn (Ehrhardt) Howard. In August of 1963 she married her husband of 57 years, James "Phillip" Ward.
Charlene was a devoted Christian and was a servant to others; she was active in her church, teaching the children's class, and baking for others. She was a hard worker and her hands were never idle. She worked for over 20 years at Eastern Mich. Univ. Every summer she canned fruits and vegetables, and to relax she crocheted blankets and afghans to give to others. She was especially proud of one that received first place at the Michigan State Fair.

Survivors are her husband, Phil, of Bentonville, Ark., and children Kevin (Cindy) of Clinton, MI. and Kimberly Brunkhardt (Bill) of Bella Vista, Ark., four grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and brothers Dalles Howard of Pocahontas, Ark. and Hurshel Howard of Ypsilanti, MI.
