Charlene Marie Johnson, age 71, passed away on September 8th, 2026, at Lakeview Hospital in Stillwater, Minnesota, with her loved ones by her side.  Charlene was born January 2, 1955, to Richard and Arlene Macho in St. Paul, Minnesota.  After her mother Arlene's passing, Viola became her step mother.  Charlene grew up with her two sisters, Mary and Patty. 

Throughout the years, Charlene worked as a nurse and a server for most of her life.  In November of 1975, Ray Clonkey and Charlene were blessed with a daughter, Amber.  She ended up divorcing Ray.  Later on, she married Michael Johnson.  Through this union, they were blessed with a son, Joshua, in April of 1979.  This union ended in divorce.

Charlene lived every day to the fullest.  After many years of working and enjoying rock concerts, dancing, and going fishing, Charlene became a grandma, and that was the best joy of her life.  

In 2009, Charlene ended up meeting the love of her life, Dan Dulon. Charlene and Dan loved to do the same things and had the same interests.  Charlene's greatest gift was her children and grandchildren.
