Charlotte was hard-working, selfless and giving. Her talents in gardening, baking and quilting were appreciated by all who knew and loved her.

Charlotte was a talented quilter. Her quilts are truly family treasures. She blessed each family member with her creations and even had one ready to welcome her first great-grandson and several awaiting future arrivals.
