These dishes became a cherished tradition, bringing her loved ones together for countless memorable meals. Her cooking was a reflection of her heart—always giving, always filled with love. Her family will forever treasure the memories of sitting at her table, sharing laughter, and enjoying the comfort of her food. Charlotte also had a special love for Christmas and shopping, always finding joy in giving and making the holiday season memorable for her loved ones. She will be remembered not only for her delicious cooking but also for her kind heart and the warmth she radiated wherever she went. A message from Charlotte: “To my dear family, please know that my greatest wish is for each of you to be right with God and to know Jesus as your personal Savior. Live with His love in your hearts, and never forget that He is always with you. Keep your faith strong, and share that love with others as I have tried to do.” A celebration of her life will be held at Maranatha Baptist Church, 300 Trenton Blvd, Nashville, AR 71852, on March 15, 2025, at 12:00pm.
