She formerly worked at Danville Tent and Awning. Charlotte was an avid cook, her specialties being her various pies, cakes, and cookies. Charlotte loved going to various festivals, rummage sales and flea markets. A lot of her trips to the flea markets happened on the spur of the moment when Hershel would wake her early and say "Hun, want to go to Bargersville?" and a short while later they were on the road. It was not out of the ordinary for them to drive a couple hours just to get a cup of coffee and head back home. Charlotte enjoyed the annual family gathering and catching up with everyone. Hershel and Charlotte were regulars at the North Vermilion McDonald's coffee club and enjoyed going there in the mornings to visit their many friends. Charlotte loved her husband and family and often put them before herself.
