Donna “Charlene” Jung
November 7, 1942 – January 31, 2025
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Donna “Charlene” Jung (nee Reeves), on January 31, 2025, at the age of 82. Charlene was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend who brought warmth and kindness to all who knew her.
Born on November 7, 1942, Charlene lived a life full of love, laughter, and unwavering strength. She was known for her lively spirit, quick wit, and delicious homemade meals and desserts. She loved to cook for her family and friends.
She retired from Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, where she spent over 25 years making a difference in the lives of children and their families.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ron Jung, who passed in May 2020. Charlene is survived by her three sons, Rick (Jenn) Jung, Mike (Jamie) Jung, and John (Megan) Jung, and her four grandsons, Alex, Myles, Oliver, and Jack.
Charlene’s kindness, wisdom, and unwavering support will be dearly missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
Forever loved, forever remembered.
Charlene gave the Gift of Body to St Louis University School of Medicine. A celebration of life will be planned this spring.
I am so sorry to see the passing of Charlene. She was one of my favorite customers when I worked at Dollar General in Grasso Plaza (Affton). We always called each other “trouble”, when we would notice one another. May she rest in peace and finally be with her husband again.
What a wonderful person Charlene was! She was a friend of a friend but treated me like her lifelong friend every time I saw her. She was funny, warm and kind and for not knowing me all that well, she still remembered my kids names and grandchildrens names. Rest in peace with your beloved husband.
So saddened by the news of Charlene’s passing. She was such a wonderful mother and grandmother. I so wish should would have more time with our shared grandson, Jack. Charlene was so funny and I loved hearing her stories of Ron and the three boys. What a great life they had growing up. Charlene will be missed by so many. Char and Ron are back together again, Heaven just got a little more fun!
