Together, they made their home on the family farm, where they raised their three children: Joan, Karen, and Ray.
Charlotte and Elwood shared a love of the water and spent many joyful summers at Lake Okoboji and winters traveling to places like Hawaii, the Caribbean, and Tucson. The couple shared passions for farming, boating, and travel which led to countless adventures and treasured memories for their family.
Charlotte was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Elwood.

Charlotte was blessed with many dear friends through P.E.O., her bridge and coffee groups, and her church community. She was a talented ice skater, graceful water skier, and gifted seamstress—always bringing joy, creativity, and elegance to everything she did.
Charlotte will be forever remembered for her warmth, kindness, and adventurous spirit. She lived a life full of love, laughter, and meaningful connection—and her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
