Charlotte Ann Stevens, 84, of
Sheboygan Falls, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 21, 2018, at
Pine Haven Christian Home.
Char was born on September 24,
1933, in the town of Scott to Leonard and Beatrice (Goll) McCue. She was a 1951
graduate of Sheboygan Falls High School. On June 7, 1952 , Char married the
love of her life, Allen Stevens, and together they had three children.Char and
Allen owned and operated Allen's Janitorial Service. After enduring the loss of her husband
on March 21, 1982, Char relied on her
family, her strong faith in God and her love and laughter to move forward. Char
was a dedicated mother and grandmother who created unforgettably wonderful
memories that will be cherished by her family and friends, especially her children,
grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Either she was laughing at us or we were
laughing at her with the many “events” that took place while spending
time together. Her positive outlook and sense of humor remained with her up
until the end.
Char was a member of St. Peter
Episcopal Church in Sheboygan Falls, where she served on the Ladies Guild. She
was also a Campfire Girls Leader, a member of the Red Hat Society, the Q-Tips
and on a bowling league. Char enjoyed taking bus trips, having coffee at local
restaurants, collecting angels, the family's annual cookie making and
especially spending time with her family and playing with her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren.
One of the nicest things someone
said about our mom was, ” if you couldn't get along with Char, you have a
problem”. We knew it and we were happy to share her with the world. If you
would like to honor our mom/grandma, do something nice to someone in need and
keep on laughing! It breaks our heart to lose her, but know she did not go alone.
For part of us went with her when God called her home.
Char is survived by two
daughters, Cheryl (Paul) Marti of Oostburg, and Linda (Ed) Gregoire of
Sheboygan Falls; one son, Mark (Sue) Stevens of Sheboygan Falls; eight
