Charlotte volunteered in service to others for many years of her life and was especially loved by the staff and her co-volunteers at Work Inc. in Quincy. A kind and gentle soul, Charlotte will be long remembered for her hard work and her contagious sense of humor. She was much loved and will be sorely missed by her family, her cats Lilly Belle and Hunter, her many friends, and community members. She will be especially missed by her longtime friends at Active Daycare/Cozy Corner in Hingham and Plymouth where she spent many happy days. May she rest in peace.
