Later in life Charlotte worked as a Real Estate appraiser for over 25 years and retired in 2013.

Charlotte was very much a contrast in personality types. Stoic and excitable, severe but loving and always a big heart. She never denied anyone help or her broad shoulders when they needed it. She loved spending time with family and loved her 5 sons very much. She loved taking road trips as an appraiser enjoyed traveling.
