Charlene Ann Wallin devoted her career to teaching and inspiring generations of students at Dorion and Red Rock Public School. Known affectionately as "Missy," she is remembered for her patience, kindness and steadfast care for every learner who crossed her path.
Charlene's generosity extended far beyond the classroom. Following her passing in 2024, she left a meaningful gift in her Will in support of our Northern Cardiac Fund.
In a final lesson that reaches well beyond education, Charlene reminds us that teaching never truly ends. Through her generosity, she has showcased the power of giving back and how one person can leave a lasting mark on the community she was so proud to call home.
In recognition of her gift, an office space in the Cardiac Cath Lab was named in her memory.
