Charlotte had a love like Jesus, an unconditional love that touched every person that crossed her path. If Charlotte learned that someone was struggling, she found a way to help. Charlotte held her family and friends close to her heart, especially her grandchildren. She loved cooking and planning gatherings for the Ellet Hotties, St. Martha friends, Hill-Shimko family reunions and the Dayton Street block parties.
