On February 12, 2021, Charlotte Ann Knesek, made her final bow. Early in the afternoon the Lord called her home to be at peace. She was 80 years old and battled Alzheimers for many years. We have no doubt that she has already put up a sign for early registration to one of the many dance classes she will be teaching. Charlotte was born on August 10, 1940 in Corpus Christi, Texas to William Lee and Hattie Manning.
Anyone who knew her, knew her passion was for music and dance of all kinds. Up until almost the end, she would tap a beat with her foot or her finger. We all knew that she was dancing or choreographing a routine in her head.
Charlotte was preceded in passing by her parents, William and Hattie Manning and her husband, Ernest Knesek.
She is survived by her 3 children: Terry (Janet) Knesek of Portland, Texas; Jill Knesek of Oxnard, California and Lana (Jacob) Johnson of Mathis, Texas.
She will be lovingly missed by her 5 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers, donations to The Harbor Playhouse, or any other art center, or to Alzheimer’s research in her name, would be where she would want them to go.
The family will have a private funeral service on Saturday, February 27, 2021 for immediate family only due to current events in our world.
