Charlotte Geraughty Obituary

Mary Charlotte Geraughty, a beloved wife, mother, philanthropist, and friend to many and a long-time resident of Franklin, TN, passed away on September 5th, 2023. Charlotte was born on February 5th, 1956 in Chattanooga, TN. She is preceded in death by her loving mother, Ann Orr Winkles.

Survived by her loving husband of 33 years, Dr. James K. Geraughty, children, James Geraughty, Jr. (Tori), Michael Geraughty and Alexandra Geraughty, granddaughters, Savannah and Sydney Geraughty, sister, Cynthia Morton (Keith), amongst many nieces and nephews. 

Throughout her life, Charlotte had a passion for many activities including gardening, baking, and reading. She found solace and joy in beautiful plants and beautiful creations in her kitchen. She generously shared her bake goods with all.

Antique glass collecting was another hobby that brought Charlotte much happiness. She had an eye for unique pieces and enjoyed sharing their history and significance with others. Her collection was a reflection of her curious nature and appreciation for artistry.


Charlotte's warm presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her. She leaves behind fond memories that will forever remain etched in the hearts of those whose lives she touched. Her selflessness and generosity serve as an inspiration to us all, reminding us of the importance of giving back and making a positive impact on the world around us.
