Charlotte "Snookie" Griffith, 84, a resident of Lothian, MD for more than fifty years and previously of Edgewater, MD died of natural causes on Monday, April 7 in Landover, MD. Born on February 24, 1941, in Annapolis, MD to the late Paul and Helen Wood, Charlotte grew up in Edgewater and graduated from Annapolis High School. She was a dental hygienist until the birth of her son when she became a stay-at-home mom and homemaker. Charlotte later worked at her family business, Olde Solomons Wine & Spirits in Edgewater, MD. She enjoyed spending time in her garden and cooking, and her days were complete when she spent time with her grandchildren and her Canasta card group. Any moment she spent with children brought brightness and joy to her day. In addition to her parents, Charlotte was preceded in death by her husband, Charles E. Griffith, Jr. She is survived by her son, Charles E. Griffith, III (Donna Griffith) of Hershey, PA; her brothers, Paul Wood (Carol Wood) of Ocean City, MD, and David Wood (Kerrissa Wood) of York, SC and her grandsons, Charles E. "Charlie" Griffith, IV and Elijah "Eli" Griffith.
