Obituary of Charlene Renee Niles-Hauth
Charlene Renee Niles-Hauth was born on November 24th, 1958, in Portland, Oregon, to Wanda and Glen Niles. She died on July 8th, 2019, in Portland. Her biological father was Patrick Humphrey.
Charlene grew up in the Gresham/Portland area, attending schools in both districts, ultimately Marshall High school in Portland. In 1978 she was married to Randy W. Hauth; they divorced in 1996, after bringing two beloved sons, Brian Raymond Hauth, and Andrew Joseph Leon Hauth, into the world.
Charlene was a beautiful person inside and out, always wanting to help anyone that she could. She felt her mission here on earth was to help her loved ones, so she selflessly devoted herself to this; she helped care for her late brother Glen as he lost a battle with diabetes, and she then stayed with her 78-year-old mother, helping wherever she could. Her sister Robin Macready was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in November, so Charlene came down to Portland from Madras to help Robin through the rest of her life, but sadly the two of them were killed in a hit and run collision on SE 148th and Powell. Charlene died the day of the crash, and her sister Robin died one day later on July 9, 2019.
Charlene is preceded In death by her dad Glen Niles, father Pat Humphrey, as well as her brothers Bud and Jerry.Charlene also leaves behind the two sons of whom she said “My boys are my entire world,” Brian, 42, and Andrew, 34, both of Portland Oregon. She is also survived by her mother Wanda Niles, sisters Tish, Glenda, Traci and Jolene, her brothers Brad, Mike and PJ, and eleven grandchildren Samantha, Brian Jr, James, Josiah, Katy, Aidan, Keely, Shawn, Kellie, Bentley and Cameren, two great grandchildren Joshua and Josiah, and countless nieces, nephews, cousins, and other best friends, and so many people who loved her.
Charlene loved everyone, but especially loved her kids. She was considered a second mother to many people from all walks of life, and she will be missed by all that knew her. Her sons want her to know that “We love you mom; we will be ok, we promise.”
