Charlene Zapata, 38, graduated to Heaven far too early on December 23, 2021 after a long hard fight with cancer. Her suffering never took her smile and humor, and even in death, her loving heart and bright light continue on as a beacon of hope for all who know and love her.
Charlene is survived by her amazing son, Lenny and countless loving family and friends. She will be missed in more ways than words can express, but her laugh, sass, and conquering spirit will never be forgotten!
Charlene requested a celebration of life at her beloved church, StoryHeights Church, 381 Elliot St. Newton Upper Falls on Wednesday January 5, 2022 from 10 am until 12 noon. for all of her close friends and family to attend.
She requested all who are willing to wear white. Per Charlene’s wish, a reception with food and drinks will be served for her close friends and family before her celebration beginning at 10am.
There will be an open microphone on stage for anyone wishing to share a short 1-2 minute memorial honoring Charlene and her life during the service.
A short graveside ceremony will be held at Fairview Cemetery after the celebration of life, followed by a repass for close friends and family at:
Italian American Citizens Club
San Giovanni Battista
21 Allen Ln
Dedham MA 02026
