Charlotte graduated from Clarkston High School in 1934 as class salutatorian. She also played side center for the girl's varsity basketball team. She attended Pontiac Business Institute, and on Sept. 6, 1941, Charlotte married Lawrence I.

In 1978, Lawrence and Charlotte moved to Frankfort, where they both resided until death. Charlotte was a well-known Frankfort Panther fan, especially of girls' softball and girls' basketball. She was a fixture at almost all the girls' basketball games for the last 12 years of her life. She was also a life-long Detroit Tiger fan, having watched her first game against the '27 Yankees at Navin Field. Charlotte enjoyed all sports, including the Red Wings, Pistons, and especially University of Michigan football, to which she and her husband had season tickets for nearly 30 years.
