She was a loving mother, sister, and friend, but most importantly, her passion was her grandchildren.

Phillips, Jr. (Pam); uncles; aunts; one niece, Nancy Phillips; and several cousins. Visitation will be 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, May 20, 2016 at Ridout's Southern Heritage Funeral Home in Pelham, Alabama.

I was so sad to read of Charlotte's death in the Birmingham News. I had the pleasure of working with Charlotte for several years at what is now Starnes Davis Florie law firm. We shared many grandchildren stories - I had a few more than she did as I am 6 years older but what fond, good memories I have of sharing an office with her. I missed her so much when she retired. Please know that you are all in my heart and prayers as you grieve the loss of your wonderful mother and grandmother.

I am just so sad to read about Charlotte's passing. There was never a better friend in the world. I loved what Nancy Porter had to say. It is all so true. Love to you all.

Charlotte Lee was a very loving and supportive person. I had the pleasure of working with her at two law firms and she was such a hard working and helpful co-worker. Her dry wit was unmatched. What I loved most about her, is her devotion to the people she loved. Her children and her grandchildren made her so proud. Great kids who have raised great kids. She was such a loving and supportive friend, as well. Losing, what is, in reality, a force of nature, is hard. And when that force of nature is your mother, it's even more difficult. Sending up prayers for strength, comfort and peace to Phillip, Michele and Jenni. We lost one of the great ones on May 17th. I love you, Charlotte Lee. Please save me a seat !!

I didn't know Charlotte well - I believe I met her just once but, her brother Johnny Phillips is a long time friend of mine and I knew Charlotte's mom, Mrs. Phillips and judging from the class act people they are/were, I'm sure that Charlotte was also. I pray God's peace and comfort on all the Lee and Phillips' family at this time.
