Charlotte Griffith Wallace, a beloved Mom and Nana, passed away peacefully on December 30, 2025, in Nederland, Texas. Born on December 2, 1957, in Port Arthur, Texas, she brought joy and laughter to the lives of many throughout her remarkable life.

Charlotte dedicated 35 years as an Athletic Administrative Assistant at Nederland High School, where she was known for her unwavering commitment to the coaches and students alike. Her spirit, filled with humor and kindness, left an indelible mark on those who had the privilege of working alongside her. A proud graduate of Nederland High School, she fostered a deep connection with her alma mater and played a significant role in shaping the experiences of countless friends and coworkers during her tenure.

A cherished member of the First Baptist Church of Nederland, Charlotte lived her life embodying her love for Christ, demonstrating loyalty, care and devotion to all those she loved. She found great joy in the simplicity of life, whether it was enjoying monthly dinners with her siblings, sharing moments at the beach with her girlfriends, or engaging in spirited games of bunco. Her loving nature extended to her cherished grandson, Landry, with whom she shared a bond that brightly illuminated both of their lives.

Charlotte is survived by her devoted daughter, Ashley Harrington and her husband, Eric, and her beloved son, Lance Wallace and her precious grandson, Landry Wright. She also leaves behind her dear brothers, Ross Griffith and his wife Anne, Randall Griffith and his wife, Jody, and Gary Griffith as well as many nieces and nephews. Adding to her family was her loyal fur pup of 13+ years, Ely, who brought her immense joy and companionship.

She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Willie and Lela Mae Griffith, who surely welcomed her into their embrace with open arms.
