Charliene was the daughter of Louis Frey and Ona "Roller" Frey. She was a graduate of Carthage Senior High School. She had worked as a telephone operator for Southwestern Bell. She also had worked as a secretary for both Fairview Elementary School in Carthage and MSSU in Joplin. She married her soul mate, Bill Aldridge, on Oct. 22, 1949.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Bill; three brothers, Kenneth Frey, Dutch Frey and Ray Frey; and two sisters, Velma Russell and Lilly Mae Frey. She loved her family more than anything and was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt. She loved gardening and many times told her family, "When God made Adam and Eve, he didn't put them behind a computer, he put them in a garden." Her yard was her sanctuary and the time she devoted to it was her way of worshipping and praising the Lord. Graveside services will be at 10 a.m., Friday, June 12, at Park Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m., Thursday, June 11, at Ulmer Funeral Home, Carthage. Arrangements are under the direction of Ulmer Funeral Home.
