Charlotte Gail Diehl

Sadly, our beloved mom, Charlotte Gail Diehl, 87, of Beaumont, CA, passed away on Friday, October 10, 2025, succumbing to an extended illness. Charlotte joins her husband Willard Diehl, her parents, Patrick Henry Tolley and Marie Waldron, sister Patricia Tolley, children Renee Gail Coffey and Carlo Patrick Forne, and her loyal canine companions Angel and Bailey.

She survives her sister Bernadette Ehret, her loving children Lynn Marie Godish, Pamela Jean Ruckelshausen, Michelle Marie Fornirico, Melanie Kay Carter, and her son Michael Kenneth Forne. Charlotte was blessed with 13 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren, and a grand puppy Mo, along with several nieces, nephews, cousins, and very dear friendships that have lasted over 70 years…

She had a big personality and impact on all those she interacted with. Her smile left an unforgettable mark on all those she crossed paths with. She was an example of what determination and persistence could accomplish. Her greatest joys and accomplishments were her family - being a mom, sister, Gram/Nan/Nanny/Grandma/Super Old Great Grandma. Her favorite pastime was traveling, and she was quite a fashionista enjoying current hair, make-up, and clothing trends; oh, how she loved her bling!

Please join Charlotte’s family in the celebration of her life on Friday, November 14, 2025, at St. Francis Xavier Cabrini Catholic Church, 12687 California St, Yucaipa, CA 92399.
