Charlotte and Jerry loved celebrating with their extensive family of close friends from Huntington. They collectively moved to St. Augustine, over the years. They enjoyed many cruises, cook outs, pool volleyball games, and a lot of laughter.

Charlotte was THE Zumba Queen, loving to dance, always. She cherished all dogs, having many throughout her life, to spoil and cherish. She was a wonderful chef, and quite the fashion Icon. Notable, she was, for her daily consumption of wickedly strong, black iced tea.

When she had nothing, she gave everything. Her generous spirit, her gracious heart, always welcoming, always giving to all she met, defined her character. Mom, memorable for her brilliant smile, hearty laugh, and capacity to love.
