Charlotte's objective in life was to be the resilient, loving, supportive and committed wife, mother, grand-mother and friend to those she loved. Being a hockey mom, tea mom, school mom and most importantly a loving mom to her four children, helped to accomplish her goals she had set for herself. Charlotte's mothering nature brought her close to the hearts of all she came in contact with. Her strong interest in photography, tole painting, scrap booking, quilting, gardening, camping and all round celebration of life uplifted everyone's spirits.

Charlotte fought a bitter battle with breast cancer and beat it, making her a strong supporter of the Breast Cancer Campaign. Charlotte will be loved and missed by many.
