Charlotte Andrews McCutcheon

1926 - 2022

MCCUTCHEON, Mrs. Charlotte Andrews, 95, died peacefully on February 22, 2022 in her home. Born on October 11, 1926 in Suffolk, Va., she graduated from Suffolk High School and St. Mary's Junior College in Raleigh, N.C. After coming to Richmond in 1949, she worked at Thalhimers and Eastern Airlines. Charlotte, an avid golfer, was an unapologetic liberal "Yellow Dog" Democrat with a firm opinion on everything that she willingly shared, unrequested. A vocal Episcopalian and a member of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, Charlotte served on the vestry and altar guild. She was a 50-year volunteer at St. Paul's Lenten lunches, serving cheese soufflé on Wednesdays. She was a resident of Cedarfield from its inception. She served on the board of Family and Children Services, Theatre IV (now Virginia Repertory Theatre), SCAN, Gateway Homes and the Evaluation Committee of the United Way. She was a longtime member of The Women's Club and was active in the development of the West End Community Center. She was a proud mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

She is survived by a daughter, Sallie Baker McCutcheon Johnston; two granddaughters, Catherine "Katie" Johnston and Julia "Julie" Johnston Oliver (Richard); two great-granddaughters, Sadie McTyeire Oliver and Elizabeth Shea Oliver; a great-grandson, Patrick Edward Oliver; a sister, Mary Jane Board (John, deceased); two sisters-in-law, Judy McCutcheon Smith (James) and Ann McCutcheon (Joe, deceased), all of Richmond. She was predeceased by her parents, Sadie and Charlie Andrews; one brother, Moody E. Stallings Jr; two sisters, Frances Stallings Ramsey and Sarah Andrews Fletcher; and by her husband, Andrew Haliday McCutcheon Jr., who was a sports columnist RNL, congressional aide, congressional candidate, campaign manager for J. Sargeant Reynolds and Vice President of recycling at Reynolds Metals.

Memorial service will be held on March 5, 2022 at 11 a.m. at St. Matthew's Church, 1101 Forest Avenue, 23229. In lieu of flowers (she preferred chocolate in life to flowers at death), donations may be sent to St. Matthews Church, Virginia Rep. Theatre, 114 W.
