Charlotte Dodd Voigt

Charlotte Dodd Voigt passed away on September 7, 2012 after a brief but intense battle with brain cancer. She was born near Yellville, Arkansas on June 4, 1938 to Cecil Calvin Dodd and Ruth Riley Dodd. She spent her formative years traveling the United States as a military daughter before moving to San Antonio where she met and married her Harlandale High School sweetheart, and husband of 56 years, Raymond O. Voigt. Following marriage, she studied to become a licensed vocational nurse, a profession she loved and practiced for over 40 years.

Charlotte was a beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, and friend. She loved nurturing her family, friends, patients, and most of all her orchids, awe stopping ferns, and the many plants in her greenhouse and yard. As a respected collector of vintage glass and jewelry, she was asked many times to display her collections for both regional and national shows. Her sense of style and excellent seamstress skills allowed her to make numerous gowns for her daughter throughout her school years. As time progressed, her love of cooking really proved why she was elected President of the Future Homemakers of America in high school twice. A perfect day for her would be a late morning cup of hot coffee swinging with the love of her life, admiring the lovely yard they cultivated together in the home they built over 48 years ago or a antique shopping trip in the travel trailer.

She is survived by her loving husband, Raymond O. Voigt of San Antonio; her daughter Terri Graves and son-in-law, Brian Graves of Santa Fe, New Mexico; her son Trent Voigt and daughter-in-law, Sue-Lynn of Van Alstyne, Texas; her granddaughters, Evan Bryn Graves of Santa Fe, and Stolle and Reagan Voigt, also of Van Alstyne; her sister, Judy and her husband, Tom Beeson of Sun City, Arizona; and her father-in-law, Otto Voigt of McQueeney.
