Archer, Charlene (Delp) of Quincy, died November 27, 2015, after a sudden illness.

Charlene’s life was centered around her family, especially her son Curran.  She was a high school biology teacher at Bridgewater-Raynham Regional High School and also an adjunct professor at Quincy College.  Being a mother and role model for children is where she excelled and her life’s work was dedicated to bringing out the best in other people.  A perfect day was one spent on the water in Wollaston Bay on her sailboat with her son Curran.  She supported many worthy causes but two dear to her heart were “Experience Camps” and cancer research.  She ran several marathons; including Boston, Char was a lover of art, and was passionate about mentoring others.  Charlene was a member of the Quincy Art Association and Wollaston Yacht Club.  She will be remembered by her son as a loving and caring mother as well as an inspiration to all for her amazing life.
