She spent her formative years in Malta, Montana where her father Cleo Coles was a photographer on Highway 2.

In 1962, her father moved the family to Glasgow, Montana where he set up a new Coles Color Photo Studio.

Charlotte went to Grades 7 through 12 in Glasgow and graduated from Glasgow High School in 1968.

In 1969 she married and in 1970 Charlotte had her only child, Christine Elisabeth Hrabak in Ohio.

Charlotte returned to Montana when Christine was two. Charlotte was employed by Peavey in Miles City for many years and then finished her career at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in both Miles City and Glasgow.

She loved her job working with the veterans and being able to help them.

Charlotte enjoyed retirement, her garden and her two cats, Thelma and Louise.

She was also President of the local Senior Citizens. Charlotte is survived by her Daughter, Christine Hrabak (Denver), 2 Grandsons, Caden Hrabak and Drake Bell (Everett, WA), and her sister Nancy Coles Behelfer-Scott (Tucson).
