Charlene Karen Getz, 72, of Wolcott, passed away peacefully on Friday, September 3, 2021 at The Simon Cancer Center of Indianapolis.  She was surrounded by her family after a nine-month battle with pancreatic cancer. She was born October 7, 1948, in Rensselaer, IN to the late Elmer and Emilie (Schini) Anliker. Charlene was a 1966 graduate of Medaryville High School.

At the age of 18, Charlene gave her life to Christ.  She served her Lord faithfully for 54 years as a member of the Apostolic Christian Church. Her marriage was to Eldon Getz on March 28, 1971 in Francesville, IN; he survives. Eldon and Charlene celebrated 50 years of marriage this year.

Charlene was gifted with the ability to create a warm and loving atmosphere.  She was a prayer warrior, dedicated homemaker, loving grandmother and babysitter, and gifted gardener.  Charlene graciously hosted countless pond functions with her welcoming hospitality.

Charlene loved Gospel music that moved her heart and soul closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Her life showed evidence of pursuing, seeking, and learning the character and nature of God and His love for us. She was able to reflect that character and love to her husband, children, grandchildren, and many friends and family.  She also expressed her love for others by volunteering for Hospice Service and the local Cheer Circle for many years. She enjoyed serving on out of state church mission trips by helping those in need.  She leaves a legacy of generosity and sharing.
