Charlotte was born to Jim and Reta Harrison in Gould, OK, January 9, 1932. She joined loved ones who had gone before her on October 7, 2021, at age 89. Graveside services are planned for Oak Grove Cemetery on Saturday, Nov. 20 at 11 a.m. with Bill Sherrill of North St. Church of Christ officiating.
Charlotte grew up in a farming and livestock community in southwestern Oklahoma. A friend encouraged her to attend Abilene Christian College, where she graduated in 1954 with a degree in psychology. For the rest of her life, she would remain actively involved raising money for Abilene Christian scholarships.
In her senior year at ACC she met Norman Taylor and the two were engaged by graduation and married on October 3, 1954. They made their home in Dallas, but eventually lived in San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Hebronville and Alice before their first child started school in Nacogdoches, where they raised their family.
They were founding members of the North St. Church of Christ in the 60s, and owned White's Auto Store on the town square. Both worked in the store, and later when they closed it, Charlotte taught 6th grade science and reading for a time before they opened A-Z Rentals and again worked together.
In addition to their five children, Jan, Jim, Scott, Brad and Charley, they also fostered one son, and hosted international students from Taiwan and Germany.
Upon retirement, the couple moved to Angel Fire, N.M., where they lived for eight years. Feeling the need to move closer to family, they once again pulled up roots and moved to Lexington, KY, to be near their daughter as they aged.
Above all, Charlotte was a woman of great faith, which she put into action through many projects. In the U.S. and around the world, many children have been comforted by the blankets made by Charlotte and those she inspired. She was wife, mother, foster mother, alto singer, social worker, teacher, businesswoman, mechanic, farmer, seamstress and woodworker.
