Brann, Charlotte Winnifred (Boettcher)

November 15, 1924 – September 1, 2010

Charlotte was born November 15, 1924 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and went to be with her Lord and Saviour on September 1, 2010. She was predeceased by her loving husband Herbert of 40 years in 1985; son Wayne (Chris) in 2003; daughter Gail in 2010; siblings Betty, Edna, Norman, Larry and George, and her second husband Charles Toth. She is survived and will be sadly missed by her brother Fred (Julie); her children Garry, Harvey (Linda), Darcy (Jane), Marquita and Kim (Ian); grandchildren, Kevin, Jon (Sweety), Chelsea (Victor), Joe, Lucas (Lindsay), James, Jeremy, Matthew, Sarah, Thomas, Hannah and Philip; great-grandchildren Colton, Lane and Alyna; step grandsons Leigh, Jamie, Jeremy, and Mark. Charlotte was raised in northern Saskatchewan and came to display the courage and determination of her dearly loved father Charles Boettcher. She joined the army and served in Canada through World War II and it was in the army that she met and married Herb Brann, a drill instructor. They carved out a life together with their seven children in the Calgary area; but later in her life, it was in Winfield near Kelowna, amid the beauty of her flourishing garden that she built many other happy memories. As a veteran, Charlotte spent her last days at the Colonel Belcher care facility and the family would like to thank all the staff there who worked so hard to bring comfort to her in her final year. Funeral Service will be held at Crescent Heights Baptist Church (1212-1st Street NW, Calgary, Alberta) on Monday, September 6, 2010 at 1:00 pm. Graveside Service will be held at Mountain View Memorial Gardens on Tuesday, September 7, 2010 at 10:00 am. Condolences may be forwarded through www.commemorativeservices.ca.
