Charlotte loved her family beyond measure and was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. Being a superb cook, Charlotte was especially noted for her strawberry cakes. She was a Duke basketball fan and so enjoyed watching their games. Filled with kindness, compassion, joy and laughter, Charlotte welcomed everyone she met into her wide circle of extended family and friends. Charlotte's family is grateful for all acts of kindness and prayers that have been showered upon them during her illness and passing. Cherished memories of Charlotte will remain in our hearts.
