Charlene was born on July 21, 1936 to Emory and Lucille Cowley White in Cleveland, Utah. She married the love of her life, Andrew Mortensen, on December 5, 1953.

Shaw enjoyed playing softball. She was an excellent catcher, playing against and with women 20 years her junior. She had several musical talents, including the accordion, piano and the spoons.
