    My deepest condolences to Charlettes family. Charlette played a big part in my life for the past 6 or so years. We lots of laughs, lots of fun, lots of meals together, and lots of shopping and browsing. She had a quick and sharp humor about her. She always cared so much about those close to her. I will forever miss her, never will she be forgotten, always will be in my thoughts. ❤️

    My heart goes out to everyone who ever knew Charlette. She taught me at such a young age that no matter how much time passes or what age you grow to me life is still going to be what you make it. So many shopping trips, walks around nature centers, time spent with my family which adored her, and several birthday parties thrown and shared together. Truly the most incredible human being and best friend a girl could ask for. i will never forget seeing her at parkway with her being the ONLY resident with her natural hair color still bright as can be while everyone’s had turned grey, one of the many things that always stood out about her. Rest easy Char, not a day has gone by or will go by without thinking about her.

    Before I met Charlette I saw and heard what a special lady she was thru my grandaughter , Eiley’s conversations. When finally meeting her in person , I was reminded of her friendliness, humor and caring traits ! Thanks to Charlette for showing my granddaughter and myself her love and grace . Rest in peace .
