Charlotte was born on April 11, 1922 in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Her childhood spanned the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression. She came of age and joined the Navy Nurse Corp at the beginning of World War

Charlotte’s legacy includes four wonderful grandchildren: Jonathan Arehart, Aaron Arehart, wife Annie, Jolyn Arehart Peden, husband David Peden, and Stephanie Arehart Kahl, and husband Chris Kahl. Nana was blessed to know and be known by three amazing great-grandchildren: Colin, Charlotte, and Ashlyn.

Although all eight of Charlotte’s brothers and sisters predeceased her, she remained close to her sister-in-laws, Elaine Pierce and Eileen, “Peanut,” Schwab. She was blessed to have many delightful nieces and nephews who she loved dearly.

The funeral service will be on Saturday, February 11, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. The service will held at the South Park Funeral Home, 1310 North Main Street, Pearland, Texas.
