Charlotte E. Nelson

Charlotte Nelson, born April 22, 1947, passed away on January 31, 2011 after a brave battle with ovarian cancer. The daughter of Ray and Barbra Howard, Charlotte was raised in Buena Park, CA. Charlotte was a blessing for those who were honored to have known her. Her beautiful soul will be forever missed by those who have survived her. She leaves behind her beloved husband Ed, children, Justine and Johnny, sister Bernita, and grandchildren, Joshua, Nathaniel, and Dominic. Charlotte’s life was spent graciously supporting those around her. She was kind, friendly and outgoing. Her family was her pride and she thoroughly enjoyed supporting her kids and grandkids, ready and willing to help and encourage them in their endeavors. One of Charlotte’s most beautiful traits was her giving spirit. She was compassionate and generous, always putting the needs of others before her own. In spite of her illness she enjoyed living life to the fullest and loved spending time outdoors both waterskiing and snow skiing. She loved taking her dog, Rocky to the dog park. Charlotte was an active member of the Church of Christ and enjoyed brunch with her friends after services. Great thanks and heartfelt appreciation go out to all involved in the care and comfort of Charlotte. Services will be held at Church of Christ at 651 S. Kolb Road at 10am, February 19, 2011.
