In their retirement years, they enjoyed traveling and being with family and friends. Charlotte was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. While raising her family, she enjoyed her time as a beautician, a florist, working at the IRS, and her many volunteer positions. Charlotte was known for her sense of humor and love of laughter. Her favorite past times included cooking, playing cards, and bingo. Charlotte was a member of St. Henry Parish in Erlanger Kentucky. She was very proud of the years she dedicated to the Altar and Rosary Society. She had a deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, saying multiple rosaries per day often at the request of her family and friends.
