Charlotte’s radiant smile would light up a room. Nothing made her smile more than her family and setting sail on a Carnival Cruise. If there’s one thing she would want to leave us with its “Home should be an anchor, a port in a storm, a refuge, a happy place in which to dwell, a place where we are loved and where we can love” (Marvin J Ashton). Her door was always open for anyone who needed a hot meal, a place to rest or just a swift kick.

~Goodbye is not forever~ When you lived your life for others and you loved without condition, when you made so many laugh and your smile won’t be forgotten, when you left behind an empty place that no one else can fill, when the friendships that you shared long to be renewed, when you built your life on hope, and fulfilled it every day, the footprints that you left behind will bring us face to face. So goodbye is not forever, you’re only steps away.
Condolences and memories may be shared with the family on the tribute wall.
Services have been entrusted to Steverson Hamlin and Hilbish Funerals and Cremations, located at: 226 East Burleigh Blvd. Tavares, FL 32778
