Phoenix - Charlotte Rae Ralle, beloved mother, sister, co-worker, and friend passed away at home in her bed on August 8, 2018. Charlotte was an amazing, strong and beautiful woman. She was born in Quincy, Illinois on September 30, 1939 and was one of five girls. She moved to Phoenix as a young girl and stayed there for the rest of her life. She met, fell in love with and married the late Charles John Ralle and together they raised a family of 3 girls. Life held many ups and downs for Charlotte but her strength and resiliency got her through all of her trials and helped her to move on to the next great chapter. Charlotte was a fun loving woman who was passionate about all of her interests. She and her husband had many great times together, raising horses and going to horse shows, spending many Saturday nights going to classic car shows, watching the Phoenix Suns and going to swap meets to find treasures. She and Chas made friends everywhere they went. She loved collecting beautiful and antique things. She loved to read and read hundreds of books throughout her life. Most of all, she loved her family and loved the many gatherings that were held with many generations down to the present with her daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Charlotte worked at the same job with the same company for three decades and worked right up until the day that her health made her stop. She held many different roles but her favorite job was being the bookkeeper. We all miss her so deeply but it makes us happy to know of the great family reunion that she is having in paradise. Charlotte was survived by her 3 daughters, LaRae Reed, Sherri Moorefield (and her husband, Rick) and Erin Carpenter, her 8 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, and her sisters Marjorie, Shirley, Sharon and Patricia. Funeral services will be held at Greenwood Memory Lawn Mortuary, 719 N 27th Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85009. Viewing at 10am and Service at 11am. In lieu of flowers, we would appreciate donations to Hospice of the Valley, 1510 E Flower St, Phoenix, AZ 85014 - hov.org.
