It is with profound sadness and enduring love that we announce the passing of Charlene Keys on Christmas morning, 2024 at Huron Residential Hospice, Clinton. Charlene leaves behind her devoted husband and love of her life, Greg, and their cherished children, Alyssa and Lincoln. She is the beloved daughter of Robert and Emma Manson and the treasured daughter-in-law of Linda Keys and the late Steve Keys. Charlene was a loving sister to Wayne (Lori) Manson and a dear sister-in-law to Leanne (Mike) Colclough, Dan (Erica) Keys, Darren (Brandy) Keys, and Jenn (Matt) Telfer. She will be fondly remembered by her many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, friends and countless others who were blessed by her love and kindness. Charlene is reunited in heaven with her grandparents, Bill and Velina Oesch, Arletta (Ray) Shelly and Russel Manson, Arnold and Nora Keys and Hennie Poelman.
Charlene’s life was a testament to her unwavering faith, which guided her through life’s joys and challenges. Her strength, grace, and resilience inspired everyone around her, and her deep love for her family and friends will forever be remembered. Charlene’s passing on Christmas morning is a reminder of her unshakable faith and the light she brought into the world, even in the face of hardship. She will be deeply missed but forever celebrated as a beacon of love, courage, and hope.
Visitation will be held at Haskett Funeral Home, 456 Main Street South, EXETER on Sunday December 29th from 1 – 4 PM.
Charlene’s funeral service will be held the following day on Monday December 30th at 11 AM at the Kingsfield Zurich Mennonite Church, 37818 Zurich Hensall Road, Zurich. Spring Interment to be held at Bayfield Cemetery.

To Charlene’s Family,
Tanya & I send our sincere condolences to each one of you. Charlene was a Very Special person.
When we owned our restaurant many years ago, we hired Charlene to work along side of us in the kitchen. She was a dedicated employee, and could always see what needed to be done, and did it.
Our hearts are hurting for each one of you.
Sending our Love & Prayers
