Rochester, NH - Charlene Elaine Kusch born September 14, 1964 in Saugus, MA has passed away in her home of 13 years in Rochester, NH in the early hours on Tuesday December 16th, 2019. Charlene had a recent battle with cancer which ultimately took her life. She fought so hard. Charlene was a loving, quirky woman. She cherished her boys, sons and grandsons, more than anything in the world. Charlene loved being "The Grammy". Charlene was the ultimate animal lover. She loved all animals, but cats are her favorite. She had a cat named Baby Boy who was a giant part of her life, almost equivalent to her children. She was the queen of making silly faces and loved to make people laugh. She loved her coffee too. She loved Nickleback, The Who and loved watching movies, Ted and Ted 2 being some of her favorites. Being a true New Englander, she loved any and all New England sports team especially "her" Red Sox. Charlene was a great mother, a better grammy, and a true genuine friend. She was surrounded with so much pure love and comfort before she passed. She is missed greatly already. The team of family and caretakers were an amazing group to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and full of peace until her time came. We only hope that Charlene rests peacefully with her son and mother. Charlene is survived by her three sons James Dyer,33, and his fiancé Brandy Skillings, Jon and Joey Dockham, both 25, and Jon's longtime girlfriend Jessica Donnell all of Rochester, NH as well as her two grandsons Jaxon Dyer,6, of MA and Bryson Dockham,3, of Rochester, NH. She is also survived by her two childhood best friends Lisa Tabi and Barbara Leblanc as well as her long-time true friend Mary. Charlene is predeceased by her mother, Grace MacConney Kusch, as well her beloved son Jason Dyer, whom we know welcomed her with open arms."What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Helen Keller "Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. Because for those who love with their heart and soul there is no such thing as separation." RumiA memorial gathering will be held at RM Edgerly & Son Inc.
