Charlotte Lorena (Brown) Walter Thomas, daughter of LeRoy and Edith (Seybold)
Brown, was born August 13, 1938 on the Brown family farm south of Corning, Iowa.
Charlotte was united in marriage to Vernon Walter on June 15, 1956 and to this
union four children were born, David, Judy, Karl and Bonnie.
After Vernon's death Charlotte married Leslie Thomas on December 27, 1991.
Together they made their home at the Thomas farm near Alden, Iowa. She
returned to Corning after Leslie's death in 2004.
Charlotte was a loving mother and homemaker. She worked with Vern in
their rock, lime and fertilizer business, held various part time jobs in her community,
and worked with Leslie in farming. Her children and extended family members
enjoyed her uniquely decorated special occasion cakes, a hobby that later developed
into a home business. She was a creative talented lady and could do anything with her
hands. Charlotte had a love of quilting, carefully making countless, perfect hand stitches
resulting in many beautiful works of art. In her later years, she enjoyed crocheting
afghans and prayer shawls for her grandchildren and the ill. She was a member of the
United Methodist Churches of Corning and Pope Joy.
Left to cherish Charlotte's memory are her children, David Walter of Lenox, Iowa;
Judy Jones and husband Clifford of East Wenatchee, Washington; Karl Walter and
wife Belinda of Clarinda, Iowa; Bonnie Boswell and husband Fred of Corning, Iowa;
three sisters, Joyce Bergman, Dorothy Haley and Arlene Sanford; fourteen
grandchildren eight great-grandchildren; three atep-children; five step-
grandchildren; along with many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
Preceding Charlotte in death were her parents LeRoy and Edith Brown; and
husbands, Vernon Walter and Leslie Thomas.
Although Charlotte will be greatly missed, her love and inspiration will
live on through her family. May God grant peace to those who mourn Charlotte's?
passing.
