Life story

My sweet mom was born in Buchanan County Virginia on January 8, 1948 to Byrd and Mary Blankenship. She had seven brothers and sisters which made for a large extended family.

She was married to Ronnie Owens and spent 57 years with him and his companion and friend. They both loved each other dearly. She gave birth to one daughter and that is me, Mary Angela Charles. Mom loved being a nana to her two grandsons Dylan and Dakota Charles and her great granddaughter Danica Charles.

She was an avid quilter who loved making some of the prettiest quilts I’ve ever seen. She left behind her work for us all to admire and enjoy.

I was given the very best mom in the world!
