Charlotte Rodgers Obituary
87, died Wednesday, March 19, in Villa St. Joseph in Baden in her 70th year as a Sister of St. Joseph. The daughter of Philip and Mary Derry Rodgers, Sister Charlotte entered the Congregation from St. Catherine Parish in Beechview. For more than 50 years, Sister ministered as a teacher in elementary schools and high schools in the dioceses of Pittsburgh, Altoona-Johnstown, Greensburg, and the Arch-diocese of Miami, FL. From 1958-1964 Sister Charlotte served as principal at St. John School in Lakemont. Her years as a high school teacher included 10 years at Mon Valley Catholic High School and 6 years at Greensburg Central Catholic High School. After serving as Pastoral Minister from 1989-1991 at St. Mary Church, Kittanning, Sister Charlotte taught religion at St. Joseph School, New Kensington. When she retired to the Motherhouse in 1998, Sister enjoyed tutoring students at Mt. Gallitzin Academy until 2005. Sister Charlotte was admitted to Villa St. Joseph earlier this month. Sister loved people, and her spirit of joy and cheerfulness warmly greeted all those whom she met. She will also be remembered by the many persons who were the beneficiaries of her prayers. Sr. Charlotte is survived by one sister: Margaret Kuskie, Finleyville, PA, nieces and nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews, and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Baden.

One of the best memories that I have of my lively Aunt Sr. Charlotte, was the time she dressed me up as a nun & took my picture. For years, noone knew which nun was in that photo.

Aunt Sister Charlotte embrased life with such joy. I remember how she also welcomed death and uniting with Christ. God is Good - All the Time!

She was my great aunt. I will always remember her genuine love and generosity for her family. I'm sure it was also reflected in her teaching and those that she touched throughout the years. She will be missed.

God Bless Sister Charlotte and her family. As one of her students at Mon Valley Catholic she taught me so much about God and Love. She touched so many lives and she will be missed by all.
