Lynette Culp Hart, 93, passed away on Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at Carmel Hills Retirement Community in Charlotte. A native Charlottean, Mrs. Hart was born at Presbyterian Hospital on October 22, 1919. She was the daughter of the late Burgess Elbert Culp and Edna Willis Culp. She attended Sharon School and Central High School. She married Charles Ray Hart in 1949 and they were married for 55 years, until his death in 2005.

Mrs. Hart was a charter member of Calvary Church and a homemaker for over twenty years until she became secretary for her husband’s accounting business. After officially retiring from their business she and Mr. Hart retained a small accounting business from their home where they worked together until his passing in 2005.

Robert Culp of Charlotte, and her nieces and nephews.

Our family will never be able to express our love and appreciation for all of the genuine kindness and care shown to our mom and grandma and our family members at Carmel Hills over the last three years. Their staff is dedicated to loving and caring for the residents in a truly exceptional way. You have become like family as well. The Hospice staff who recently came on board made Mom’s transition and ours, as well, a much less stressful experience. I dare not name any names for fear I may omit someone. You have all been an amazing support system. Thank you.
