Charlotte was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She married Russell Dawson in April 1972 and spent their life together raising their three sons and working wherever her immeasurable talents took her. She spent time as a waitress, beautician, and everyone's favorite Home Interior lady. If you broke down the years she spent the majority of her life in Ash Grove. Living right across the street from the school, she kept the most gorgeous flower garden, gave out the best Halloween candy and her house was always ready for company complete with a full pot of Folgers. Her love for her family cannot be understated. Her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy. Always finding time for games of cards, Sequence, and meals fit for an army. She was the hardest working woman but she knew to prioritize rest and joy. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
