Aunt Char was a very funny person!
I didn’t get to enjoy her after I moved from Pa.
Due to a severe family divide,I’m sure we missed a lot of life fun!
She was always good to me as a child and I have thought of her often. I have 5 kids of my own and 6 grandkids
I am very blessed

I worked with Charlotte for many years and she was always kind and compassionate. Just wonderful and a bright light in the world. May you Rest In Peace and may God be kind to all of you at your loss.

Gloria, Gene and family: Charlotte was a bright light that came into my life when I moved into a Brooke Hall apartment directly across from hers in1967-68. She also included me to lots of meals and events at your close-by home. She would not let me say no to her invites to play tennis with her and her friends, even though I was a terrible tennis player!We often came back to her apartment for refreshment and a game of Yahtzee and fun with her beloved “Landy.” On the December day I married Larry at Nativity BVM, she called you, Gene, to drive me to the church. Guess I forgot that detail!Larry was in the Air Force, and we left the area. Char and her friend visited us in Dayton shortly after our daughter was born in 1971. We have been back in this area since 1973. The world’s not so bright with our Charlotte. Much love to you all.

I was truly saddened to read of Charlotte’s passing and have all of the family in my thoughts and prayers. Charlotte was a truly lovely person – I am remembering her from years ago at Trinity UMC, Chester, PA. My maiden name is Eileen Grant, member of a large family; who still attends Trinity Church, but we are now merged with Trainer UMC, in Trainer, PA. Our lovely church still stands, but we could no longer afford the upkeep. I graduated CHS in 1953, sister Ruth Ann graduated with Charlotte. That beautiful smile just brought back so many fond memories. Will keep you all in my thought s and will send a donation to the Hospice & Community Care. Stay well, love to all the family, sincerely, Eileen Grant Pascale 924 Edgewood Avenue, Folsom, PA 19033
