Charlotte Grenzenbach Obituary

Charlotte Grenzenbach, 97, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, peacefully passed away on September 30, 2025, at the remarkable age of 97. She was born on December 15, 1927, and throughout her long and active life, she exemplified strength, resilience, and an unwavering work ethic, often outdoing those half her age. Charlotte joins her beloved husband, Harold "Bud", daughters, Dianna Jean and Debra Coleen in Heaven. She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Elsie Hughes; her brothers, Charles, Richard, and Norman Hughes. Her youngest surviving brother, James Hughes, resides in Florida. Her spirited, witty, and eclectic personality left a lasting impression on everyone she knew. Though she will be deeply missed on this earth, we take comfort in knowing she is rejoicing in Heaven with all of her loved ones she has joined. Charlotte's legacy continues through her surviving family spanning five generations, including her son, Bill Grenzenbach and his wife Pam; grandchildren, Jared Grenzenbach and his wife Ann, and Amanda Garrison and her husband Raymond; great-grandchildren, Raimee, Riley, Reanne Summer, Joshua, and Megan; and great-great-grandchildren, Evelyn Grace and a baby boy we are eagerly awaiting. She will forever remain in our hearts as a testament to strength, perseverance, and an indomitable spirit. Per Char's requests, private services will be held at a later date. Her burial will be in Lindenwood Cemetery, Fort Wayne. Hockemeyer & Miller Funeral Home, Fort Wayne is caring for arrangements.
