She was preceded in death by her husband, William Davis Booker Jr.; and her siblings, Jackie Skipper, William Ellis Skipper, Jr., Louis Skipper, and Louise George.Left to cherish the memory of Charlene are her children; Dwight Booker (Karen) of Brandon, FL, Donnice Thompson (Donald) of Kingsland, GA, and Duane Booker of Brandon, FL; her sister, Norma Jean Kusuda (Wilfred); her grandchildren, Tyler Booker (Erin), Taylor Booker (Donald), Bryant Thompson, and Jenna Thompson; her great-granddaughter, Leighton Kate Booker; and her sister-in-law, Barbara Skipper.
