Charlotte M. Petersen Wieland    b. 1918   d. 2006 
---------------------------------------
Wieland, Charlotte Marie  
 
TRAVERSE CITY — Charlotte Marie Wieland, 88, of Traverse City, entered into 
eternal life on August 26, 2006, at Munson Medical Center.

Born on April 29, 1918, in Coon Rapids, Iowa, she was the only child of the 
late Henry George and Elsie Marie (Lindy) Petersen. As a young child she moved 
to northern Michigan with her parents, settling in Thompsonville.

Charlotte graduated from Thompsonville High School with the class of 1936, and 
earned the honor to deliver the Valedictory. She furthered her education by 
attending Benzie County Normal in Frankfort and the Lewis Chapin Business 
School in Traverse City.

Charlotte was possessed with a sense of the ridiculous and had a penchant for 
always writing or saying the right thing to meet any occasion. She was an avid 
reader and enjoyed working crossword puzzles.

Charlotte is survived by her loving family; son, David H. Wieland of Midland; 
daughter, Kathleen E. Owen of Traverse City; son, Joel G Wieland of Suttons 
Bay; grandchildren, Leslie (Gregg) Gallagher and their children, Lauren and 
Ryan, all of Grand Rapids; Trevor (Kristen) Wieland of Grand Rapids; and Jodi 
(Tracy) Thomas and their children, Audrey and Zachary, all of Midland.

She was preceded in death by her youngest daughter, Julie Lynn Wieland. Julie 
was a special child with very special needs. Charlotte worked tirelessly 
throughout her life to better the circumstances of the developmentally 
disabled. She was also preceded in death by a special family friend, James V. 
Bradley of Saginaw, a stroke victim, whose betterment she also worked towards.

Funeral Services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 30, from Bethlehem 
Lutheran Church, with visitation one hour prior to the service. Rev. James 
Vargo will be officiating. A luncheon will follow at the church. Graveside 
Services will be held at 3 p.m. Wednesday at Thompsonville Cemetery, 
Thompsonville.

In remembrance of Charlotte, memorials may be directed to Bethlehem Lutheran 
Church. Envelopes may be obtained at the church.

The Wieland family would like to acknowledge the staff of Munson Medical Center-
4th floor for the wonderful care given to Charlotte.

Arrangements were made with the Reynolds-Jonkhoff Funeral Home; www.reynolds-
