After Saul passed away in 1976, Charlotte continued working and raising her four children. In 1991 she married Murray Zwicker. Charlotte and Murray loved to travel and attend shows in New York City. Murray passed away in 2009.

Her grandchildren include Shannon Kobran, Melanie Kobran, Dan Carmody, Corey Carmody, Sawyer Deitz, Hayley Deitz, Michael Deitz. Taylor Cruz and her husband David, and Jason Kobran and his wife Mary.
