Charlotte was born on June 22, 1933, in Iowa City, Iowa, daughter of Louis O. Smothers and Helen (Ziel) Smothers.  She was a devoted member of the Church of the Nativity, Nativity Rosary Society, The Power of Prayer, and Love Holy Trinity Blessed Mission. She was a very active volunteer in the Chapel and all religious activities at Windsor Park, where she resided for the past 23 years, until moving to Stonehill 6 months ago.  She was employed as a secretary and bookkeeper by Banworth & Udelhoven Furniture World for 62 years, retiring at the age of 89.  

Surviving is one sister, Jeane Beau; two sisters-in-law Dorothy Smothers and Deb Phillips; 5 nieces and 6 nephews.  

She was preceded in death by her father, Louis O. Smothers, her mother, Helen M.  (Smothers) Phillips, her step-mother Loretta Smothers, her sister and brother-in-law Louise and Allan Miller, and two half-brothers, Louis M. Smothers and Billy Phillips, and her very special lifelong friend, George Banworth.

Charlotte loved God above all else.  She treasured her Catholic Faith as her greatest gift.  She had a very faithful prayer life and devotion to our Blessed Virgin Mary and the Holy Rosary.  She asks that we all offer Masses and prayers for her soul.

Memorials may be given to the Dubuque County Right to Life or Love Holy Trinity Blessed Mission.

Charlotte leaves her heartfelt gratitude to her beloved family and friends who helped her through this difficult time, to her Love Holy Trinity Blessed Mission family, to all her caregivers at Stonehill Health Center, especially her very special aide, Tamisha, to Hospice of Dubuque, especially Angela,  and to Dr. Khan and Dr. Kumor.
