Charlotte was born on Sept. 5, 1934, to William and Fern Taggs, at the home of her grandparents, William and Ella Shundlemire, in Logan, Iowa. While working in Storm Lake, Iowa, she met the love of her life, Carl Ernest Klingborg.

They were married on Jan. 18, 1965, in Pocahontas, Iowa. They moved to Carl’s farm near Quimby, where they were blessed with two boys, James Arnold and Donald Wayne. They continued to farm until 1989, when they retired. They moved to Aurelia in 1996, into a new house that Charlotte designed and decorated. They lived there until the first part of April 2018, when they moved into Sunrise Retirement Community in Sioux City.

She was a member of First United Methodist in Aurelia. Charlotte liked crocheting, quilting, ceramics, playing cards, and when the boys were younger, the family liked traveling and camping together to many different states. She thoroughly enjoyed the two trips to Sweden with her husband, Carl.

She is survived by her husband, Carl of Sioux City; her two sons, Jim (Sheila) Klingborg of Cherokee, and Don (Karre) Klingborg of Sioux City; three grandsons and one granddaughter, Trinity (Cati) Klingborg of Early, Iowa, Robert Klingborg of Cherokee, Kyle Erb of Iowa City, Iowa, and Amber Ferch of Cherokee; three great-granddaughters, Lexie Jellison of Clarence, Iowa, Heaven Harper of Sioux City, and Carly Spanier of Schaller, Iowa; two great-grandsons, Damon Coll and Nikoli Klingborg of Early; four sisters, Joyce Fielder of Aurelia, Wilda Scott of Verona, Mo., Ruth Davis of Storm Lake, Iowa, and Estelene Strope of Broken Arrow, Okla.; a host of nieces and nephews; a plethora of grandnieces and nephews; and many dear friends who will all miss her greatly.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and four brothers-in-law, Ray Fielder, Glen Scott, Eldon Davis, and Vernon Strope.
