As a nurse, Charlotte devoted most of her life to the care of the elderly. She was owner and administrator of the Carr Rest Home in Celoron, N.Y., where she was known for her excellent, compassionate care. Her service to her patients went far beyond the clinical, she invested herself personally in the life of every patient. A gifted musician, she often played the keyboard for them, having had a previous professional career playing locally.
Before nursing, her talents were exhibited in a variety of other employment: baker, seamstress, secretary, typing instructor, and pottery maker, to name a few. She loved to crochet and talk on the phone with her children and grandchildren. She loved her family deeply and sacrificially. She lived life to the fullest, and came to a saving faith in Jesus Christ, where an abiding prayer life for everyone, especially her family, marked her devotion to the Lord.
She married Ralph J. Wieneke of Lexington, S.C., and enjoyed six years of a love-filled marriage before he passed away.
Surviving are her four children and their spouses. Also surviving are eleven grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
