Charlotte was born on January 4, 1924, in Bellows Falls, VT, daughter to Hiram Beacher and Margaret Lucy (Ponty) Russell.

She enjoyed traveling with her late husband, going out with the girls, shopping, and being with family. She was a loving and caring woman that would help out anyone with anything, even if it meant she went without.
