Charlotte Mugnier Obituary

Charlotte Mugnier died peacefully on Saturday, February 16, 2019 at the age of 94. She was a graduate of Newcomb College of Tulane University, received her Master's degree in Public Health from Rutgers University and a PhD in Library Science from Columbia University. Her career included teaching at the School of Library, University of Alabama, and directing the Northfield, MN Public Library. Charlotte's professional accomplishments include two books written for members of the library field. Though Charlotte spent the last 38 years of her life in Minneapolis and Northfield, she also lived in New Orleans and spent many years living in Europe. She was preceded in death by her longtime companion, Lora Landers of Minneapolis, and her parents, Emile Alphonse Mugnier Jr. and Polly Quave of New Orleans. Charlotte is survived by her brother Marshall E. Mugnier, Lafayette LA, nieces Andrea Mugnier, Reno, NV and Nicole Mugnier Brunson, Conroe TX, and nephews Paul Mugnier, San Francisco CA and Jon Mugnier, Lafayette LA. She also is survived by a great niece and two great nephews. Throughout her life she enjoyed the company of many friends who will miss her intelligence and razor sharp wit. At Charlotte's request there will be no services held. She asked that memorials be offered to the ACLU or the Southern Poverty Law Center.
