Stel and Family. We are very sad that we lost a dear and great friend that we had for 52 years. Charlotte, Jim and Jimmy will always be remembered in our hearts for the numerous great times we had together.Remember all the Pepsi & Dunkin Donuts on Murray Ave! And the night she stayed up when Scott was born = how could we forget. Never can we replace her raisin pie! She was a sweet and giving person. She and Jim were second grand parents to Roger & Scott. We will love her and miss her forever. Love to all.
Sissy and Nook Boy.

To Charlotte's Family,
I was so sorry to hear that Ms. Charlotte had passed. I met her while she was the cafeteria manager at the Daily Press. She was a very nice lady with a sweet personality. I absolutely loved her cooking. The food in the cafeteria has never been as good as when Ms. Charlotte ran the kitchen.
My sincere condolences on your loss.

I am very sad to hear of your loss. I worked at C&C and loved Charlotte and Jimmy. I always saved my pennies for Jimmy and Charlotte made the best chicken & dumplings! I always had at least 2 bowls. I know she will be missed but never forgotten. May you find peace in the joy of having her in your life.
