Charlotte Bunker Obituary

BARNSTEAD – Charlotte "Cate" Bunker, 92, of Barnstead, passed Sunday, May 21, 2017, at her home. She was born in Concord, in 1925, the daughter of William and Lura Cate.

Charlotte married Roland E Bunker Jr. and the couple cut and milled the lumber for the home they built in 1946, where they lived their entire lives. Charlotte loved to sew, knit, crochet, was an excellent cook and known for her raised doughnuts and decorated cakes. She was also a consummate gardener but especially proud of the tomatoes she grew each season. Charlotte worked at NH Artistic Web for several years as a weaver and after retirement took great joy in caring daily for her granddaughters. Her love for her family was unparalleled as was her spirit and determination.

She was predeceased by her loving husband, Roland E. Bunker Jr.; brothers, William AND Solon Cate of Concord and Milton "Buddy" Cate of Penacook. Charlotte is survived by her sister, Virginia Call of Florida; her daughter, Debra Holmes of Moultonborough; her son, William Bunker of Barnstead; her granddaughters, Heather (Cory) Halvorsen of Barnstead, Haley Bunker of Manchester, Kristen (Tyler) Richey of North Carolina and Erin and Emalee Bunker of Barnstead; and great- grandchildren, Tyler Thibodeau of South Carolina, Rhiannon O'Gara and Jaiden Halvorsen of Barnstead.

Special appreciation to Jacqueline Cate and Deb Foss for all their support, caring and love in helping Charlotte the last few months. The family would also like to give a heartfelt thanks to the Barnstead Fire Rescue ambulance team for their professional and excellent service and their empathy with the family. Special thanks to the CRVNA for their caring and support.

Per Charlotte's request, there will be no funeral or calling hours but the family is planning to hold a memorial service at the Barnstead Parade Cemetery later this summer.

In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made in Charlotte's name, directly to the Barnstead Fire Rescue, 106 South Barnstead Road, Ctr Barnstead, or the Concord VNA, 30 Pillsbury St., Concord, NH 03301.
