Age 91, of Springboro passed away Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2019, at Hospice of Dayton. Born in Miamisburg, OH, on July 10, 1928, to the late Charles and Oneda Lambert.
Charlotte was preceded in death by her son, John, as well as siblings, Carl, Ralph, and Clarence Lambert and Mildred Uhrich.
She is survived by her husband of 71 years, James; five daughters, Cheryl Suttman, Lynn Suttman, Cindy (Mark) Newland, Carol (Dave) Rickert, Cathy (Mike) Heinz; daughter-in-law Sally Suttman; grandchildren Jonathan and Alec (Dana) Suttman, Megan (Dan Divelbiss) and Madie Suttman, Davis, Jimmy and Sam Rickert, Sarah (Ryan) Mills, Kelsey Heinz, Shelby (Pat) Cronan and Lindsey (Nick) Baker; great grandchildren Olivia, Charlotte and Benjamin Mills, Ena Divelbiss, Erin and Emma Cronan, and Levi and Ada Suttman.

Charlotte married her high school sweetheart and after sending her last-of-six children to grade school, earned her bachelor’s degree in education from Miami University. She taught fifth grade at Kinder Elementary School in Miamisburg for the next 19 years. After retirement, she volunteered at Sycamore Hospital in Miamisburg and at her church, St. Mary’s of the Assumption. She learned needlework from her father and was an exceptional seamstress and knitter. Her kids fondly remember their matching, homemade outfits and multiple generations treasure her hand-knitted Christmas stockings. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. We already miss her dearly.
Funeral services will be at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 26, at St. Mary’s Church, 9579 Yankee Rd., Springboro, OH, with a reception immediately following. Internment will be at Calvary Cemetery.
