Charlene Ruth

Haas

Charlene Haas, 75 years old, of Guilford, IN passed away surrounded by family on Friday, April 15, 2022. Originally from Saylor Park, Charlene met her future husband, Carl, while watching a band in Colerain one evening. After dancing the night away, he offered to take her out to breakfast and so began their love story. After marrying in 1970, Charlene and Carl lived in Cincinnati for 34 years before moving to Guilford after retirement. Charlene was an avid Cincinnati Reds fan who never missed a game on TV or the radio. The family spent many Mother's Days celebrating her at the Reds ballpark. She enjoyed working in her flower beds at home, crocheting blankets for others and putting together puzzles. Charlene had a tight knit girls club that got together every month to catch up and often took trips. She loved to decorate for the holidays and when it came time for Christmas she would adorn every room from top to bottom with Christmas trimmings. Charlene was an excellent baker and was well known for her wedding and birthday cakes. An adoring wife, mom and grandma, Charlene loved to spend time with her immediate and extended family and especially loved to fuss over her grandchildren.

Charlene will be deeply missed by Carl, her husband of 51 years, and children Carla Haas of White Oak, Chuck Haas Covington, Christa (Matt) Makrancy of Bright, and Carrie (Chris) Larkins of Lebanon; grandchildren Cody & Jacob Bauer, Kierstin Haas, Alexia, Paige & Austin Makrancy, Brian Scalf, Wade, Heidi, & Jillian Larkins; siblings Pat Rixner, Jim (Rookie) Reynolds, Ed Reynolds, Ross (Tom) Reynolds, Rose Homan, Ann Withers, David Reynolds, Rita Triplett, Debbie Reynolds, Martha (Marcia) Day, and Terri Cuellar. She is preceded in death by her daughter Cheryl Haas, parents Margaret & Edward Reynolds, and siblings Bernard (Whitie) Reynolds and Mary Danemayer.
