With heavy hearts we announce the passing of our mother, Charlotte Ann Davis Gonzales;

lovingly known as Char. She passed away surrounded by family at the age of 62, on September 30 th in

her home town of Albuquerque; leaving behind a family who loved her dearly.

Char was a beloved daughter, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, suegra,

and friend whose life was filled with laughter, love, and family.

Char was known for her wonderful sense of humor, her unforgettable laugh, and the

unconditional love she had for her family and friends. She had a way of bringing laughter into the lives of

those around her and her love for her family was a bond that could never be broken. To those who

knew and loved her, she was more than a daughter, mother, sister, or friend; she was part of their

hearts, their memories, and their lives.

Her greatest legacy is the family she leaves behind. Her love for her family was deep and

unwavering. The bond she shared with them will continue to live on through generations.

Throughout her life, Charlotte, experienced the heartbreak of losing many loved ones who went

before her. She was preceded in death by her beloved grandmothers, Soledad and Celia, her sister,

Rosanna, her brothers Nick and Eric, and her niece, Breann.

Charlotte leaves behind her loving parents; Nick and Amelia Gonzales, sisters; Monica (Jimmy)
