Charlene Callahan Wyman, age 79, after many years of challenging illnesses, left to begin her promised eternal life on October 30, 2024,in Ashburn Virginia; peacefully, in her home, with her loving husband of 56 years by her side.  Born on July 25, 1945, to John Thomas and Jean Elizabeth Callahan (née Sullivan), Charlene was a devoted wife to husband Peter and loving mother to SONS John and Patrick.  As an FBI wife, in the early years she shepherded her sons and household through numerous relocations, each time settling them smoothly into their new surroundings.  Later she worked as a Realtor in Northern Virginia for over 25 years, receiving many professional honors and being greatly admired by clients and colleagues alike throughout that community for her professionalism, business ethics, competence, dedication, and diligence.  Charlene loved deeply, thought first of others, was a loyal friend, had a contagious sense of humor, and most enjoyed the time she spent with her grandchildren for "Nana shops," baking of Rolo pretzels at Christmas, laughing with the little ones and sharing earnest conversations with them as they matured.  She never, ever complained.

Charlene is survived by her husband, Peter; her children, John and Patrick and their wives Nikki and Katie; her sisters, Joyce and Margaret "Peggy"; and her four beloved grandchildren, Kelly, Blake, Callahan "Cal" and Brogan. Charlene will be sorely missed, but the joy of having shared her life on earth and the firm belief that she is celebrating and being celebrated in life eternal will console those who knew and loved her.
