Charlotte became a dear friend of mine in her later years. We became acquainted through the White Cloud Crafter group. We enjoyed sharing our love of sewing and gardening. Also sharing hers and my love of family and friends. Charlotte was also a woman who wasn't afraid to share her devout faith in God. May she now rest in peace with her beloved Robert in heaven above.

I met Char when we were up at Mary's house at Frontier Village in Jamestown. She was a crafter, as I was, and started our group in 2000. I always enjoyed it when Char would come in or when she worked in the store. Char was very proud of her crafts and was a hard worker also. She was a greeter at the village and took care of the flowers also. Char will be missed by many; Prayers for her family at this time.
