Charlene M. Badger, 58, of Lebanon, passed away unexpectedly and peacefully on April 22, 2021 at Frisbee Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NH. She was born in Sanford on August 21, 1962, a daughter of Robert F. and Louise B. (Doiron) Lantagne. She attended local Sanford schools including St. Thomas and Sanford Junior High. She graduated from Noble High School in 1980. She then pursued studies at McIntosh College in Dover, NH. Over the years she was employed as a Legal Aide and the past few years at Hannaford's in Sanford. When she was 15 years old she was part of a month long Church Mission Trip out of the country. This proved to be a life changing event in her life. She was very strong in her Christian faith and had a great love for the Lord. Along with her husband Kevin and son Jonathan they attended Somersworth Pentecostal Church. She took an active role in the church volunteering for many years as a teacher in the school program. She was also part of the Nursing Home Outreach Ministry, visiting residents at the Riverside Nursing Home and on many occasions Jonathan accompanying his mom visiting residents who have no family. She enjoyed quiet evenings just sitting outdoors with her family and dog, Ziva. She is survived by her husband of 31 years, Kevin S. Badger of Lebanon, son, Jonathan R. Badger of Lebanon, parents Robert and Louise Lantagne of Springvale, sisters, Elaine Wood of Acton and Michelle Sanford of Shapleigh, as well as many nieces, nephews and brother and sister in laws. A Celebration of her Life will be held at a later date.
