Charlene Louise Kunde: nee Egan; born November 17, 1928 and peacefully became our newest angel on January 1, 2020. Welcoming her to Heaven were her parents, Louise (nee Budzinski) and Walter Egan Sr.; her sister Phyllis Lukstein and her brothers Walter Jr (the late Patricia) and Robert Egan. Charlene was the adored mother of Ronald Gerald Kunde; the beloved sister of Maryann (the late Leroy) Brown and cherished aunt, great aunt and cousin to many. Charlene was a gentle person who taught us all to appreciate the simple things in life such as a good cup of coffee with a little cream, a piece of Fannie May candy and Sponge Bob cartoons. She loved being with the family and will be greatly missed. In lieu of flowers, donations to: Council for Jewish Elderly, Adult Day Services, 1015 Howard St., Evanston, IL 60202, 847-492-1400.
