BERLIN - Charlotte Freeman , 69, of Berlin, passed away in her sleep on Sunday, March 25, 2018.
Born August 1948 as one of four children to Madaleine Jewett and Charles Jeffers of Tamworth, she is survived only by her sister Dorothy Daly of Wonalancet; predeceased by parents and both brothers.
She married Richard Paul Freeman of Laconia in 1969. Children include Richard Paul Freeman Jr born in 1970 (currently living in Blanco, Texas) and daughter Paulette Florence Freeman (Caruso) born in 1972 (currently living in Laconia).
Charlotte was employed at various factories in the Lakes Region's hayday such as Franklin Brush, Laconia Shoe Company, Vernitron, and Freudenberg; she worked as an LNA at several Lakes Region elder-care facilities, and she cashiered at Wal-mart for a short time, BUT her favorite job was working as a furrier stitcher for Annalee Dolls of Meredith, which eventually allowed her to work from home while raising her grandson, Christopher Eric Freeman of Berlin. Her legacy also includes grandchildren Spencer Peck of Franklin, Cassie Freeman of Blanco, Texas, and Forrest, Charlize, and Wolfe Caruso of Laconia, and great granddaughter Fayth Freeman of Berlin. Her beloved black and white cat, Einstein, will be adopted by Christopher and family.
The one word that describes "Nana" is passionate! She loved, hated, endured, enjoyed, and devoted herself through many years and tears of hard work, divorce, and family struggles. After beating cancer, surviving a car accident, and requiring full-time oxygen, Charlotte's passion only increased and surrounded everyone who knew her. Her life became her family, her cat, books and spending time at the ocean.
Well Nana, you beat us to Heaven! No more trips to Wells Beach, no more family reunions in Ossipee, no more dinners at T-Bones, no more wind chimes ringing in the change of seasons, no more knitting those treasured sweaters. We love you so much and cannot WAIT to be reunited with you in Heaven.
A celebration of Charlotte's life will be held from 6PM to 8PM on Thursday, March 29, 2018 at the Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, using the Whipple Avenue entrance.
Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H. is assisting the family with the arrangements.
