Charlotte peacefully passed away on January 26, 2025. Born in Pilsen, Wisconsin, on May 22, 1934 to her parents, John Stodola and Agnus Wachel Stodola, Charlotte brought joy and warmth to all who knew her.
Charlotte embraced her role as a dedicated homemaker and an active member of her community.

Her contributions to the church and her local community were numerous, and she was often admired for her kindness and generosity.
Charlotte's love of gardening was evident in her beautiful yard, which was honored with the 'Yard of the Year' award in Cookeville. She poured her heart into nurturing her garden, finding solace and joy among the flowers and plants she tended to with care. She was an avid fan of the Chicago Cubs and Green Bay Packers
Charlotte is survived by her two sons, Paul (Betsy) Drab and Dennis (Gabriela) Drab; her daughters, Karen Drab and Marie Drab (Bill Roberts); and her cherished grandchildren, Heather, Sebastian, Andres, and Danica Drab.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Daniel David Drab, with whom she shared a loving marriage of 66 years; and her sister, Aggie Seiler.
