Charlotte Carrig Obituary
October 28, 1933 - December 13, 2024
Charlotte "Charlee" Carrig of Columbus, Neb. died Friday, December 13, 2024, at Edgewood in Columbus.
Mass of Christian Burial is 10:30 a.m. Friday, December 20, 2024, at St. Anthony Catholic Church. There will be a 4 p.m. Rosary on Thursday with visitation to follow until 7 p.m., all at McKown Funeral Home. There will be a 7 p.m. Vigil service on Thursday, also at the funeral home. Visitation will continue Friday morning at St. Anthony Church from 9:30 a.m. until service time. Interment is in All Saints Cemetery.
Charlee Carrig was born October 28, 1933, to Charlie and Mary (Govern) Schutt. She spent most of her life in Columbus and graduated from Kramer High School in Columbus in 1951. She lived a short time in Long Beach, Calif., and then returned to Columbus. In 1954, she married Bob Carrig and lived in Spokane, Wash., where Bob was stationed in the Air Force. When he was discharged, they returned to Columbus and raised five children.
Charlee was a wife, mother, and homemaker. She was a lifelong member of the Catholic Church, as well as a member of the St. Theresa Sodality, the Catholic Daughters and was a Eucharistic minister alongside her husband at St. Anthony's Church for many years. Charlee was also an accomplished artist. She created "Santas by Charlee" and turned her wood carving hobby into a very successful career, creating beautifully hand-carved Santas that have been cherished by so many.
She also had her own ceramic shop in their house on 8th Street, complete with kiln and shelves full of unpainted ceramics, where she taught her ceramics classes. Charlee painted a lot and also made beaded and stone jewelry. Her artistic talents were appreciated by many. Were you one of the lucky ones that got a "Cent-a-Clause"? She also spent her time with volunteer work. Bob and Charlee celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary on July 28, 2019, a wonderful day that was celebrated by so many of their friends and family.
She is survived by daughter, Bobette Jones of Omaha, Neb.; grandchildren, Nathan, Nick (Katie) of Greenville, Texas; (great-grandchildren, Charlie, Cadence and Calee), and Sarah; daughter, Paulette (Andy) Wieser of Columbus; daughter, Suzette Carrig of Columbus; grandchildren, Michael and Antonio; daughter, Annette "Mia" Carrig of Omaha; and son, Rob (Joyce) Carrig of Columbus; grandchild, Lauren.
She is preceded in death by husband, Bob Carrig; parents, Charlie and Mary Schutt; brothers, Louis and Charles Richard Schutt; granddaughter, Marla Jones.
Special thanks to Edgewood and to Asera Care Hospice for their wonderful care of our mom.
