We are saddened to announce the unexpected passing of Charmaine Patricia Colley on May 13, 2024. Born on November 8, 1974, she called Dartmouth home.

Charmaine was a ray of sunshine, known for her kindness and love. She was an amazing mom, a devoted partner, and a loyal friend.

Among her many passions, Charmaine found joy in crafting, camping, and horseback riding, immersing herself in the beauty of nature and the intricacies of creativity. Despite her numerous talents, she remained remarkably down-to-earth, always prioritizing the simple pleasures of life and the well-being of her loved ones.

Above all, Charmaine's heart belonged to her children. They were her pride and joy, her reason for being, and her most cherished treasures.

She leaves behind her partner, Stefan Bendle; beloved children, Troy Colley and Cheyenne Rolfe; sister, Samantha Chace; mother, Debbie Bowser; grandson, Aeryth; granddaughters, Vivianna and Amitiel, and many other relatives who loved her dearly.

Charmaine is now reunited with her father, Dennis Colley; step-father, Steven Chace; brother, Kevin Bowser; uncle, Ernest Bowser, and grandparents.

Please join us for a celebration of Charmaine's life on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, 11:00am at the Church of the Nazarene, 3 Henry Street, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Light refreshments to follow.
