During her life, she was involved with the XI Chapter of a philanthropic sorority; Our Lady of Victory Women's Guild; Lady Lions; Poverello Guild; Progressive Home Club; and many school organizations during her children's school years.

Charlotte lived a very active life. Faith and family were her top priorities. Her active life included church, family gatherings, bridge, Thursday morning breakfast followed by hair and nail appointments, and of course the casino.
