Charlie loved playing and watching sports. She was especially excited to watch the Rangers participate in the World Series this year. She played and coached softball, played and officiated basketball, and even participated in the Senior Games for Life in 2010, winning the wheelchair race at the age of 94. She loved to fish and shared that love as often as she could with her grandchildren. She treasured a good game of Yahtzee or Skip Bo with her grandkids. Most of all she enjoyed time with her family. Nothing would light up her face more than a visit from her grands or great grands.
