Born in Vancouver, British Columbia to an Italian immigrant family, Charlein was pre-deceased by three brothers and three sisters.  She was, at a very tender age, instrumental in supporting the family during the Great Depression. She worked at a variety of jobs until retirement.  Following the passing of her husband Axel Gullback, Charlein moved to the interior to be with her son Don Cominetti.  She was an amazing and loving mother and friend to many.  Her declining years were spent at Pleasant Valley Manor in Armstrong, BC, often roaming the halls in song and greeting staff and residents.
