Charlotte Kathleen Payne Scott

Charlotte, 75, passed peacefully in her home on June 18, 2020.

Charlotte, a loving wife, mother, and grandmother, was born and raised in Greene County, where she lived the rest of her life.

As long as her health permitted, Charlotte attended Heartland Church.

Since retiring from Philips Consumer Electronics Co., she enjoyed relaxing at home with family watching whatever Westerns happened to be on TV. An enthusiastic cook, Charlotte loved making food for her family, especially her signature biscuits and chocolate gravy for Christmas breakfast. Charlotte will always be remembered for her pleasant smile and her infectious laugh.
