Charlene grew up on a farm in rural Saskatchewan near Morse. She was active in 4H and attended the University of Saskatchewan.  Her first son, Mark, was born in 1966.  She married Dennis Bredahl in 1975, moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1976, where Anders and Loren were born.  Upon her return to Canada, she settled in Acton, Ontario where her fourth son, Lars, was born.  She had a passion for wood working, gardening, horse back riding, was an avid reader and a fabulous cook.  For ten years Charlene was a dedicated support worker for Community Living and upon retirement, she came to Kelowna in 2011.  Charlene was active in Churchill Community Church in Ontario and at Faith Lutheran here in Kelowna.  She will be dearly missed.  A private family service will take place later this year.  Should family and friends so desire, memorial donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation, #4 – 1551 Sutherland Ave., Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9 or the Canadian Diabetes Association, 1589 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 5Y7.

    I am so very sorry to hear about Charlene .I have many fun, happy memories of the times we spent together.The first time I met her was of course at a hockey arena as Mark and Loren played together for many years.From there we became friends and did things together outside of the hockey arena. I remember many times at her house with other friends and of course the great dinners,she was such a great cook. I admired Charlene, she was very strong and level headed and I often went to her for advice. She loved her family and was very proud of all her boys.She will be missed by many, you boys had a great Mom and we who knew her had a great friend.Thinking of you and thinking of Charlene
