She then quietly and peacefully slipped away. Charlotte graduated from Missoula county High School and attended Business College in Missoula, MT.

She loved dogs and for 14 years her little miniature terrio-poodle "Misty" was a constant companion as was, in later years, her husbands English Setter "Sam." An avid reader, Charlotte was a "regular" at the county library. Country music, popular, and gospel, was always "big" in her life and she enjoyed traveling with Larry to concerts to see her favorite artists.
Perhaps the biggest joy in her life were her grandchildren and she always looked forward to their visits and spent hours with them playing cards and games or just "goofing off." Memorials are suggested to Multiple Sclerosis, Montana Division, 1629 Ave. D Suite 2-C, Billings, MT 59102.
