Charlotte was born and raised in Winnipeg and was active in both Explorers and CGIT at St. Paul's United Church.

After graduating from Daniel McIntyre Collegiate, Charlotte entered the nursing profession. She graduated and worked as a pediatric nurse at Children's Hospital, Winnipeg.

Charlotte married Gordon in 1991 and to join him in his passion for golf, she joined Toronto Ladies. Ladies became an important part of her life, making a whole new set of friends. In 1997, they established a winter retirement home in Florida at University Park Country Club, where her passion for the game really matured and again, making many new golfing and lifelong friends. Charlotte deeply valued her family and close friends, always keeping in touch. She was most generous and sincere and opened her heart and home to all those she cherished.
