Her fight was strong, her spirit high, her belief in God undeterred. May she fly high with glory on her side. Her dad welcomed her with open arms and will once again watch over his little girl. She sits in the arms of God. I am thinking of your entire family....

The Alumni Hawkeye Marching mourns with your family,the loss of Charlotte as a musician, teacher, and member of our band. As many know, the "Mellies" (Mellophone players) have a uniquely strong bond; she will be missed!

Our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Charlotte was an incredible woman and will be missed dearly.

Truth. Resilient. Steady. Some of the words I'll remember Charlotte by. Wishing her family love and peace.

I went to Cottey with Charlotte. I’m sad she has died. My family and I send our love to her family.

I met Char at Cottey College. I managed to keep in contact with her and sent her holiday cards for the past ten+ years. She was the epitome of a kind heart, smart mind, and beautiful soul. My deepest condolences to her immediate and extended family. You will forever hold a place in my heart.
