Charlene Rose Izzi, 66, of Hoquiam, Washington, passed away Dec. 9, 2019 at Montesano Rehabilitation Center in Montesano, Washington.

She was born to the late Milton and Marlys Bruneau, Feb. 17, 1953, in Aberdeen, Washington. Charlene graduated from Hoquiam High School in 1971. She was married to John Izzi in 1971. They recently celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary on September 19. Charlene is survived by three children: Craig Izzi of Tillamook Oregon, Brian Izzi (Michelle Izzi) of Olympia, Washington and Heather Izzi-Decker(Mike Decker) of Puyallup Washington. She is also survived by three grandchildren: Jordan Izzi, 24, Morgan Izzi, 17 and Kaitlyn Izzi, 6.

Charlene was such a loving, caring and giving person. She was a beloved mother and grandmother who her children and grandchildren adored. She loved her family and friends more than anything on this earth. She worked for the Hoquiam School District as a paraeducator for over 20 years and was an avid animal lover, volunteering for PAWS of Grays Harbor. She kept us all in stitches when she bust into uncontrollable laughing and snorting, cracking herself up with her own jokes.

Charlene was immensely proud of her family and leaves behind nothing but beautiful memories.

Service will be held on Saturday, Dec. 21, 2019, at 2 p.m. at the Light & Life Community Church in Hoquiam, Washington. Charlene’s wishes would be for people to donate to PAWS of Grays Harbor in lieu of sending flowers.
