Charmane was born in Glasford, Illinois on September 12, 1928 to Chester and Helen (Shreve) Coats. She married (Hobart) Wayne Spenny on October 2, 1948. They were blessed with two children, Mary Jo and Doug.
Charmane served her community and became involved in all of the kids' activities.

Charmane and Wayne were always good family friends and I have many good memories of them growing up, lots of fun times spent at the Spenny Cabin at Canton Lake and in later years I worked with her for five years at the Bank and she was a very dedicated employee. She has been blessed with God's peace.
