Born in Bruce, WI on March 3, 1917 to Ed & Minnie Ewer and lived on a farm homestead in Turtle Lake, WI. She was a founding member of St. Rita's parish in Cottage Grove. In her career, Charlotte was a dedicated, loyal employee of White Castle. In her later years, she enjoyed her friends at the Cottage Grove Senior Center and was 'Dolly' in the Senior Center chorus group.



She loved her family, music, flowers, dolls and spending time with her friends. She had a great sense of humor and was the matriarch of our family.
