She was born on October 15, 1952, a daughter of the late Carl and Marion (Gustine) Schultz, and was a lifelong resident of Meriden.

Carlene dedicated her life to her family, and her home was always open to everyone. It was continuously filled with love, life, and laughter. She adored her grandchildren and they loved playing games and sharing stories together, with both her and Pa. She was the designated mom to so many, especially those on Team CWS in the MASA organization. She loved fiercely and will be greatly missed by everyone.
Services will be privately held at the convenience of her family.
