Charlotte Tiemstra

She was born February 2, 1929, in Marsum, Friesland, Netherlands to Frank and Sadie Kuiphof.

Charlotte spent many years helping organizations in her community. She worked on the Chino Chamber of Commerce Dairy Committee. She assisted many elderly people in the Chino Valley as an active participant with Meals on Wheels. She enjoyed her time as a Chino Fair Board Member and years ago she was involved with her numerous friends as a member of the Chino Dairy Bells. Charlotte’s favorite way to spend her day was sipping a cup of tea and chatting with family and friends.
