Charlene Loretta Velker entered the world on January 14,1937 in St. Louis, Missouri. She passed away peacefully at home on February 11, 2021 in Batesville, Arkansas.

She married Stanley J. Dombroski in 1956, and had five children: Patti, Mike, Tim, Steve and David. After the kids started school, Charlene began her studies at Arkansas College. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1977, and later returned to earn a Bachelor of Science in Social Work in 1987.
