Charlene Scaletta

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of Charlene Scaletta's passing on November 12, 2026, in Gastonia, NC, at the age of 62. Born on June 17, 1964, in Buchanan County, Virginia, Charlene was a devoted mother and a nature lover who found joy in the simplest of things.

Charlene had a knack for puzzles and could often be found glued to one, lost in the challenge they presented. Her love for the outdoors was evident in her beautifully tended yard, where she poured her heart into every flower and plant. She believed in staying busy and took immense pride in all the details of everything she did, whether it was a simple household chore or a weekend project. She was also an organ donor that saved the lives of two individuals.

She is survived by her loving mother, Ruth Woodall (Tim); mom, Phyllis Carpenter; her five sons- Justin Stanley (Amanda), Jason Stanley (Natasha), Joseph Stanley (Shelby), James Stanley (Allison), and Jeremy Stanley; 10 grandchildren; siblings, Teresa Harvey, Diane Hardin (Joe), James Keener (Velvet), Ted Keener, Ricky Keener (Melissa), David Keener (Amber), Angela Pruitt, Timothy Woodall (Lois), and Larry Woodall (Stephanie), all who will carry her memory with them forever.

Charlene was preceded in death by her father, Norman Keener; brother, Robert Woodall.

A celebration of Charlene's life will be held Saturday, November 21, 2026 at Macon Funeral Home, 261 Iotla St, Franklin, NC, 28734, starting at 2 PM, where family and friends will come together to honor her memory. Family will receive friends prior to the service starting at 12:30 PM.

As we remember Charlene, let us find comfort in her love for nature, her contagious spirit, and the many memories she created with those around her. She will be deeply missed, but her warmth and passion for life will forever be a part of us.
