The family was later joined by her beloved brother, the late Charles Callin Hubbard, Jr. The family maintained strong Christian faith and worshiped together First African Baptist Church of Philadelphia. It was there that Charlina accepted her salvation and was baptized.

In her years of retirement, Charlina focused her skills for her love and passion of teaching children and adults about God's messengers, angels. Her spirituality led her to become a Reiki Master and establish a teaching ministry, Angel Haven. Charlina's spiritual soul was as radiant as her positive attitude and beautiful smile lit up every room she entered. She loved jazz music, traveling, gardening, reading and arts and crafts but most of all being with family and friends. Charlina kindness and caring heart was contagious and easily transitioned new acquaintances to friends.
