Charlotte lived a full and active life, always pursuing learning. She got her Bachelor's degree in Business at the age of 50 from The University of Findlay. The pursuit of learning continued throughout the rest of her life as she took numerous Bible classes, including Hebrew in her late 70s.

She and Gene moved to Las Cruces, New Mexico, in 2002, where they were very active in church ministry. Charlotte facilitated Bible studies in the Las Cruces prison for girls as she was passionate about sharing Jesus.
