She is survived by son Donald, daughter Rita, nieces and nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews, great grand-nieces and great grand-nephews, along with many friends in New York and Massachusetts. She is also survived by many cousins in the United States, Poland and France.
Charlotte touched countless lives during a long lifetime of helping others. During World War II she volunteered as a Red Cross Grey Lady. She loved children and was a foster mother to 24 children from the 50’s to the 70’s. She worked for many years as a school crossing guard in the Kenton School District. After her husband passed away she became active at the Amherst Senior Center as a volunteer and member.
