On August 18, 2022, Charmain's name was called by her heavenly father and she departed this life. Charmain gained her well-deserved golden wings, and now there is no more suffering for our beloved.

Charmain was a graduate of Washington Park High School. She had been employed by the US Postal Service and later as a school bus driver. Charmain grew up attending Greater Grace Temple.
