Charlene Carol Riggs

Charlene Carol (Wallace) Riggs, age 83, of Enid was born December 19, 1941 in McWillie, Oklahoma to Charles and Bessie (Reece) Wallace and passed away Saturday, June 28, 2025 at her home in Enid surrounded by her family. She was the youngest of seven children, and the only girl. Her brothers either doted on her or tormented her, depending on how much older than her they were. Charlene attended Helena-Goltry Schools, graduating in 1958, but she spent most of her free time as a teen in Aline and Cleo Springs.

She was baptized into the Followers of Christ Church in May of 1960. She married Dale Riggs on October 20, 1962, in Enid, Oklahoma, and they were blessed with two children, Mike and Carol. In 1969 they moved to Waukomis, where they lived until moving back to Enid in 2002. Charlene’s greatest joy was being Mom and Granny. There were always balloons and bubbles when you came to Granny’s house.

She is survived by her son, Mike and wife, Tammy, and her daughter, Carol, all of Enid; five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren; sisters-in-law, Jean Riggs and Eula Mae Wallace, and many nieces and nephews.

She is preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Tom, Delmar, Max, Jim, David, and Gary; daughter-in-law, Cindy Riggs; and the love of her life, husband, Dale.
