Charlotte was a free spirit and set out on a personal journey when she was 33 to explore the world and entertain those she met along the way. She never met a stranger and had several adventures to tell upon her return. She loved to dance and joke around with her friends and family. She had a quick wit and a dry sense of humor. She loved to draw and was very artistic. Her favorite color is orange / she loved butterflies, spaghetti & meatballs, pepsi and M&M's - not necessarily in that order!!

Charlotte also loved to tell stories about Elvis and Marilyn Monroe that may or may not have been in the room while she told the story!!

Charlotte is survived by her daughters, Vicki Leigh (Donoho - Kettery) Cussen, Lisa (Garry) Ann (Kettery) Jameson, Diane (Phil) Kay (Kettery) Johnson and her son, Steven (Barbara) Lee Kettery. Charlotte has twelve Grandchildren and forty-two great-grandchildren!

Charlotte's extended family were the special caregivers that were with her, on a daily basis. They helped put her family's mind at ease knowing that she was surrounded by love, laughter & friendship while in their care.

A graveside service will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at New Crown Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to The Jed Foundation or the Alzheimer's Association.
