Montreat - Charlotte June Frist Faucette Chesnutt March 4, 1938 - December 5, 2017

Charlotte always danced gracefully on the breeze, and on December 5, 2017 this magnificent and powerful butterfly joyfully fluttered home to be with her Lord. A granddaughter, daughter and wife of two Presbyterian ministers, Charlotte served as an ordained elder in the Presbyterian Church USA. Charlotte's life included many jobs such as mom, realtor, kindergarten teacher, Christian educator, and volunteer coordinator, but primarily she spent her life connecting with those around her in a deep and meaningful way and volunteering with her church and community. Charlotte fought for racial, social and environmental justice and was a lover of both righteousness and beauty. Her many years as an artist reflect her warm and caring heart, her refined eye, and her zest for life. She loved her friends and family, and she had a profound faith in God. Enjoying Charlotte in heaven are her grandparents, parents, first husband, aunts, uncles, several siblings-in law, and many other beloved friends and relatives. Surviving her, celebrating her life here on earth, and still cherishing her are Charlotte's husband, three siblings and their spouses, several sisters-in-law, her children and step children and their spouses, her grandchildren, and many beloved nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, cousins and precious friends. Charlotte will be remembered and honored at a celebration of life service at Montreat Presbyterian Church in Anderson Auditorium at 2:00pm on Saturday, January 6, 2018. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that gifts be made in her honor to the Presbytery of WNC Building H.O.P.E. Campaign via Montreat Presbyterian Church (828-664-9212, PO Box 577, Montreat, North Carolina 28757), Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry (101 N Ridgeway Ave, Black Mountain, NC 28711), or Montreat Conference Center (PO Box 969, Montreat, NC 28757). The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Givens Highland Farms, Cheshire Fitness Center, Cancer Care of WNC and CarePartners Hospice for the tender and loving care they showed Charlotte. During her extended illness, they helped Charlotte continue to land gently on bright blossoms, lift and wave her colorful wings, and twirl and spin delicately in the breeze. Charlotte was created by God. She is forgiven, loved and free.
