Charlotte M Bennett

Charlotte Marie (Spencer) Bennett passed away peacefully on January 19, 2026, at The Pickering House, entering eternity with her Savior, surrounded by her loved ones. She was 88, and born on December 9, 1937, to Thomas Wesley & Elsie (Miller) Spencer in Morgan County, Ohio.

Charlotte was a lifetime homemaker, enjoying time with her family. She loved cooking for family gatherings, the outdoors, gardening, mowing, planting flowers, and keeping the yard picked up; she enjoyed it all. She had a love for lighthouses because Jesus was her light. Later in life, she picked up the hobby of making blankets for each family member and loved bowling. She was an avid reader, reading up to 4 books a week.

Charlotte is survived by her children, Jerry (Debbie) Bennett, Debbie (Bruce) Fravel, Cindy (Jim) Jones, Jim (Vickie) Bennett, & Karen (Randy) McGarvey; 15 grandchildren, Jeremy (Evie) Bennett, Deeana (Aaron) Raymer, Ryan (Justina) Fravel, Steve (Brittany) Fravel, Becky Cline, Joshua (Alisha) Hann, Adam (Mandy) Bennett, Andrew (Stacey Dittoe) Bennett, Amber (Andrew) Mehan, Austin, Abraham, Anagrace, Amelia Bennett, Jean (Rob) Gross, and Jamie McGarvey; 18 great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces, nephews, and several good friends. 

Charlotte was preceded in death by her parents, her husband of 40-plus years, Melvin Eugene Bennett, and 5 sisters and 4 brothers.

Per Charlotte’s wishes, Caring Cremation® has taken place. A private graveside service will take place at a later date.

Memorial donations may be given to Fairhope Hospice and the Pickering House, 282 Sells Road, Lancaster, OH, 43130.
