Charlotte attended St. Benedict Grade School and Holmes High School. She worked as a waitress on skates for Frisch’s, then became a dietary aide at St. Elizabeth Hospital, then went back to Frisch’s corporation and worked as a housekeeping maid for 28 years at the Quality Inn Hotel in Covington, KY. After retiring from Frisch’s, Charlotte moved to Bellbrook Ohio where she joined St. Francis of Assisi Church. She worked in a nursing home/rehab center in Bellbrook, and Fazoli’s, then retired at age 75. Charlotte loved playing bingo, bowling, playing cards, swimming, scratching off lottery tickets, and going to Casinos. Charlotte loved to travel with family from Florida to CA, Las Vegas, New York, Canada, and Mexico. Her many vacations to Brunswick, GA was also a favorite spot. She loved to visit the cemetery of her loved ones that passed. In later years she enjoyed just sitting and watching the kids play and take rides in the van anywhere she could go. Life was always joyful to her, so she lived every minute of it to the fullest. May Charlotte Rest in Peace with the Lord. We Miss You Mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend.
