Charlotte Scali Obituary
Charlotte L. Scali passed away on July 30, 2025, at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital at the age of 78.
Born in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, a daughter of the late Isaac and Lucille Javens Veon.
Charlotte graduated from Beaver Local High School. Early in her career, she was a driver/dispatcher for Independent Taxi, before being a valued employee at Nodays Deli and Suburban Market.
An avid bowler, Charlotte looked forward to her Wednesday morning league, where she built friendships that enriched her life. She found joy in the thrill of BINGO and the excitement of the casino.

She was also preceded in death by a son, Russell Hixson Jr.; and siblings, Nancy, Alta, Hazel, Don, David, Isaac, Tom and Clarence.
In keeping with her wishes, there will be no services for Charlotte. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org
