Charlotte was a proud employee of Good Samaritan Hospital in Suffern, NY where she retired from in 1999. Prior to that she worked at Tuxedo Hospital and International Paper in NYC.
Charlotte was an avid baseball fan starting with the Brooklyn Dodgers then the NY Mets and finally settling on the Tampa Bay Rays. She was bit by the travel bug and Charlotte and Ed took many cruises with their siblings and friends in Florida. There were vacations in Hawaii and old school camping trips up and down the East Coast with their children.
Aside from baseball and travel, Charlotte loved to knit. If there is a baby to be born, that baby was gifted with a blanket of love. Her family and friends were her whole world. She loved to host holidays and dinner with her friends and family. Not a single birthday, anniversary or holiday was missed when it came to her sending cards, and we all looked forward to her famous Holiday Letter at the end of each year!
We say Charlotte and Ed planted the roots of a perfect family tree with all its branches.
So, when you find yourself thinking of our beautiful Mother, Wife, Mima, Sister or Aunt, pour yourself a glass of chardonnay (ice on the side) or a stiff Manhattan and toast to our Angel Charlotte ( Charle) Elizabeth Binet Farrell.
