Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Carolyn, Wayne and family, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Charlotte. She always had a smile on her face and was such a joy to be around. I know she is at peace and walking the streets of Gold with Our Lord and Savior. May God give you the strength now and the days ahead. Each one of you are in my prayers. God Bless you.
What a blessing to have shared in the life of you, my sister-in-love Charlotte Ferrell (Eason) Harrell! I loved cheering with you in high school, and I loved cheering you on during your last days. You were always beautiful to me, and to the very end, you never lost your special beauty. I was so blessed to see how you accepted your situation and yet challenged it every day by your effort to keep on and not give up. People always leave us too soon…no matter how old they are when they leave. Sooo glad that we got in one session of our study in the book of JOHN…we can always finish it up in Heaven when we can talk to the real John and hear him tell us all about it. I know that your joy is full even as our hearts are hurting. Take your place in that great cloud of witnesses and cheer us on to win the race that we still run. I know you will especially cheer for the GRANDS and the GREAT-GRANDS…Thank God for kids, right We will love on those you leave behind, and God will help us all to make it through to a better day…3
Charlotte was a beautiful person inside n out. Always cheerful n smiling. She never knew a stranger.She was a good cook who made delicious meals and made you feel right at home. We feel so fortunate to have been a friend of hers for so many years. Judy &Wayne Janney
I will miss you Aunt Charlotte! I will treasure my summers with you and your family! You taught me to cook, to care for the children, to love, and you treated me as I was the most special child there was. I think you knew how much I needed your love and care. Thank you for pouring into my life! Love, Sandra Eason Dianna

I will always have those memories.we will never forget when we would go to pick blackberries and she would have to dust us all so the red bugs would not get on us . I love all your family and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. judy sherrod
Forever my Aunt Charlotte and forever in my heart! So many wonderful memories of growing up and being blessed by her love. My heart hurts for all of us that will miss her but rejoices in knowing that she is truly at peace and free from sickness. I know she lit up Heaven with her beautiful smile!
The last time we saw Charlotte, she had such a glow on her face. You could tell she was at peace. She was a wonderful person and everyone could see how much she loved Marvin. Leaston & Shirley Parker
