I knew Char and her husband Tom many years ago many years ago when I first met her sister Carol Pritchett and we were teenagers. We had many fun times together when we socialized at their home. Char was always upbeat and a very happy fun-loving person who will be missed by all who were lucky enough to have known her even for a moment. i hope that she is now sharing her afterlife with her beloved husband Tom and all the others who loved her and who she loved. An old friend, Beaux
