Charlene Kippen Hunt Erwin, age 68, of Mount Airy, Georgia, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on December 13, 2025.
Born on January 31, 1957, Charlene lived a life overflowing with joy, faith, and unconditional love.
The joy of the Lord radiated from Charlene at all times. She had a rare and beautiful gift—the ability to find happiness in every single day. She was truly one of the happiest people anyone could know, and her smile, laughter, and warm spirit were a reflection of her deep relationship with Jesus Christ. Charlene was a true disciple of Jesus, showing her faith not only through words, but through the way she loved others—fully, selflessly, and without condition.
Charlene loved like no one else. Her family was her greatest treasure, and her life was devoted to nurturing, encouraging, and praying over those she held dear. Her love will continue to live on through the many lives she touched.
She is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Jessica and Johnny Huggins, and Lacey and Paul Johnson; her beloved grandchildren, Brandon and Taylor Mitchell, Gracie Bone, Makenna Johnson, Tristan and Chason Huggins; her brother and sister-in-law, Steve and Susan Garrison; and many cherished nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Charlene was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Steve Erwin; her son, Matthew Erwin; her mother, Ramona Stephens; and her father, Charles Hunt.
Though our hearts grieve her absence, we rejoice in knowing that Charlene is now rejoicing in Heaven. Her faith is now sight, her joy is complete, and her love will forever remain with us.
A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.
“Well done, good and faithful servant.” — Matthew 25:23
