Charlotte Shadle

With a spirit as vibrant as a butterfly's wings, Charlotte Mae Shadle, known affectionately as Char, embarked on her final journey on July 25, 2026. Born on October 3, 1948, in Quincy, CA, USA, Charlotte embraced life with an enviable blend of creativity and generosity. She was a woman whose heart was as colorful as the gardens she tenderly nurtured and as inclusive as the puzzles she delighted in solving. Her life was a beautiful tapestry of love, threaded with the green hues of her favorite color and embroidered with the fluttering wings of her cherished butterflies.

Charlotte was a loving presence in the lives of many, dedicating herself to the care of others as a Nurse's Aid in the field of healthcare. She embraced the essence of the saying, "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see," by Mark Twain. Her love for her family was matched only by her love for her hobbies. Whether she was crocheting a warm blanket, engaging in a spirited game of Uno, or losing herself in the delicate melodies of Indian flute music, Charlotte's zest for life shone brightly. She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as gardening, reading books, and coloring. Her generous spirit was reflected in her ability to make everyone around her happy.

She became more aware that she wanted to have a relationship with Jesus Christ, our savior!
