Charlene Cots Obituary
December 24th, 2024
Charlene Elizabeth Hammill Cots passed away peacefully at Atterdag Village on Tuesday, December 24th, 2024. Up until the end Charlene maintained her kindness, love, compassion, and appreciation for family and friends. She brought joy to everyone she met. She will be truly missed by all.
Charlene was a friendly person who worked for Nielsen's Market for 30 (+) years. She enjoyed Nielsen's family, her co-workers, and all her customers. Charlene quickly made friends in her assisted living and memory care facility where she was known as a friendly greeter with a huge bright smile. Charlene truly embodied the adage of a life well lived.
Charlene is survived by her son, daughter, daughter-in-law and six grandchildren. A Celebration of Life will be held at 12:00 p.m. Sunday, February 9th, 2025, at the Solvang Veterans Legion Hall. All are welcome to come help the family celebrate the life of Charlene.
