Charlene was born in 1931 in Miles City, Montana. Her childhood was filled with family, love, and laughter. Charlene later met her soulmate, and husband of 67 years, Harold Helland. They enjoyed many adventures in their youth and had two great kids Clay and Susan.
In 1961 Charlene and family moved to Fairview, Montana where she and Harold made their home and raised their children. In May 1972 Charlene and Harold built and opened The Powder Keg pizza house in Fairview Montana. She worked side-by-side with Harold to build a thriving business, still in existence that she was very proud of. In her retirement, Charlene and Harold would go camping fishing and spent time with her family far and near.
Charlene was loved and adored by Harold, Clay, and Susan up to the very second of her passing on September 19th. There is so much more to the story of Charlene's life that will be retold and treasured by her family.
