Charlotte was a long-time member of the Vineyard Church of Northridge. She was currently residing at Springfield Assisted Living where she was very active in the facility and gained many friends. She loved the outdoors, was an avid gardener, enjoyed painting and reading and was very creative and crafty. Her ability to envision something and follow through with the creation, no matter how little she had to make it with, always fascinated her family and friends. She enjoyed bowling and was a part of many leagues at the Northridge Lanes and one of her favorite pastimes was game night with her sisters. Charlotte was a fun and lovable mother and grandmother who adored her grandchildren and enjoyed nothing more than spending time with them. The memories created with her will forever be cherished by those who loved her.

Visitation will be held on Monday, September 20, 2021, from 11a.m. -12:30p.m. at Jackson Lytle and Lewis Life Celebration Center with a memorial service to celebrate her life beginning at 12:30p.m. Pastor Neil Haney will be officiating. Inurnment will follow at Rose Hill Burial Park.

Charlotte's family would like to give a special thank you to the staff at Springfield Assisted Living and Ohio's Community Mercy Hospice for the compassionate care and love they provided during these difficult times.
