On December 10, 1949 she married her beloved Allan H. “Al” Peabody in the Russell United Methodist Church.

Charlotte was a secretary for GE International in Schenectady, NY for 30+ years retiring in 1987. After retiring Charlotte and Al returned to Clare where they established their homestead. Charlotte was an active member of her community, she served as Town Historian and museum curator and spear-headed “Clare Day” in the month of August. She also served on the Clare Town Board, was an auxiliary member of Canton VFW #1231, Order of Eastern Star member, belonged to Retreads Motorcycle Club and the Edwards Snowmobile Club.

Charlotte and Al were always together- riding motorcycle, traveling across the country in their motorhome, snowmobiling, socializing and feeding/ watching the eagles and geese on their property. Charlotte also loved mowing her lawn on her garden tractor and burning her papers on appropriate days. She would often say “I’m Tough” as she was resilient. She will be remembered as the most giving person anyone could know.

Surviving are a nephew Kenneth Stone of Troy, NY; a number of cousins; her Town of Clare Family; Dear Friends who loved her; but most of all her beloved cat “TROUBLES”.
