Charlene M. Long, 52, a resident of Schwenksville, PA, passed away peacefully, early Saturday morning, August 24, 2013, surrounded by family and friends, at the home of her sister, Christin Meighan, in Forty Fort, following a one year battle with cancer.

Born on August 30, 1960 in Wilkes-Barre, Charlene was the daughter of Robert R. Long, of Swoyersville and the late Carol A. (Minnick) Long, who passed away on August 19, 2011.

Raised in Swoyersville, Charlene was a graduate of the former Bishop O’Reilly High School, Kingston, Class of 1978. She was an active member of the class reunion committee.

Charlene was the President and CEO of CM Long and Associates, LLC, Schwenksville, PA. Additionally, for thirty-one years, Charlene was the Finance Director for various Philadelphia area car dealerships, most recently, Del Toyota, Thorndale, PA.

A woman of many enjoyments, Charlene enjoyed cooking, gardening, and hosting many “shindigs” at her home. Traveling was one of her greatest passions, and she always enjoyed spending time with her family and friends seaside.

Most of all, Charlene had a great love and devotion for her family, friends, and her pets, Prince, Ricky, Lucy, and the late Buster Brown. It was known by many that Charlene loved to pamper and spoil her beloved nieces and nephews. Though her presence will be deeply missed, her loving and generous spirit will forever live on in the hearts of her family and friends.

In addition to her father, Robert R. Long, Charlene is survived by her sisters, Carolyn Long, of Laguna Niguel, CA and Christin Meighan and her husband Tom, of Forty Fort; her companion, Kristian Gallagher and his sons, Kristian II and Sean; her nieces and nephews, Kelly Meighan, Thomas Meighan, Katy Meighan, Dylan Yepiz, Katrina Yepiz, Mateo Yepiz and Ali Yepiz; and many dear friends.
