Charlotte was an avid baker with a true gift in the kitchen. She especially enjoyed designing beautiful wedding cakes, baking fresh bread, and creating all kinds of sweet treats. One of her proudest joys was working at Beans and Sweets in New Mexico, with her sister, where she shared her talents and love of baking with others. She was a member of the VFW in New Waterford, Ohio. She had an adventurous spirit and she loved to travel, explore national parks, and go camping whenever she could. She was a devoted Pittsburgh Steelers fan and proudly wore black and gold and rarely missed a chance to cheer on her team. Above all else, her family meant everything to her. She also held a special place in her heart for her beloved pet, Butterball, and her fur grandbaby, Nola, who brought her constant companionship and joy. She will be remembered for her generous heart, adventurous soul, and unwavering love for her family. Her memory will live on in the countless lives she touched.
