Her hobbies included photography and travel. She amassed volumes of photos of wildflowers, family and her travel adventures. Charlotte traveled to Poland, her ancestral home, East Germany and Australia. She frequently visited New York City and Maine. She had a fondness for Harley Davidson Motorcycles, t-shirts, chocolate and Chevrolets. She once drove her 1957 Chevy 100 mph because she said, “I wanted to know what it felt like to go a 100 mph”. She had a spirit of adventure that got her up in a hot air balloon, in the backseat of a biplane high over the coast of Maine and traveling down dirt roads at dusk in search of moose.
As a widow, Charlotte faced many challenges raising two boys. She saw to it that they attended church and received a Catholic education.
Burial to be held in the Catholic Cemetery, La Crosse, Wis.
