Above all, Charlotte was devoted to her family. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, and a loving sister. She was a kind and dependable neighbor and a friend to many. Known for her friendly spirit, giving nature, and constant smile, she had a heart as big as her love. Some of her most treasured moments were spent playing with her granddaughter, who brought her endless joy.
