Charlotte Webster 12/26/2019

Charlotte May Webster, age 92 of Somerset, WI, died on Thursday, December 26, 2019 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in St. Paul, MN.  Charlotte was born the daughter of Raymond and Eldah (Correll) Nelson on September 3,1927 on the family farm near Sheldon, WI.  On her 20th birthday, Charlotte married William L. Webster and started her family which grew to include five children. In 1965, the family moved to an old farm house in Somerset, Wisconsin where Charlotte lived for 50 years. Charlotte loved people, collecting friends wherever she went. She was honored to be called, “Grandma Char” at the First Baptist Church in New Richmond where she was an active member for many years.  After her husband’s death, she joined the local widow’s group, played the kazoo in the Senior Center’s “Kitchen Band”, volunteered in the kitchen at Grace Place and helped to make “Love Baskets”.  In 2014, she moved into the Countryside Apartments where she quickly became part of the community and rarely missed an event.  When she wasn’t out and about, her days were spent having coffee with neighbors, spending hours at the puzzle board, and speeding through Word Search books during her down time.  She was so very proud that she was able to live independently with the weekly help of her granddaughter, Laura.  She is preceded in death by her parents, Raymond and Eldah Nelson; husband, William L. Webster; son, William R. Webster; grandson, Kory Klein; great-grandson, Jacob Webster; brother, Raymond Nelson; and sister, Elaine (Leland) Mortimer.  Charlotte is survived by her children, Sharon (Larry Salmon) Peterson, James (Lori) Webster, Phillip Webster, Nancy (Bill) Klein; grandchildren, Bruno (Roger) Reed, Laura Reed, Bridi (Steve) Rebeck, John Johnson, Tammy Webster, Bill Webster, Ryan (Rachel) Webster, Abram (Audrey White) Webster, Briana Webster, Jarod Webster, Landon (Tuvara) Webster, Hope Webster, Krystal (Megan Stalheim) Klein, Katie (Jeffrey) del Villar; 15 great-grandchildren; 5 great-great-grandchildren; brother, Frank (Carol) Nelson; sister, Ginger (Bill) Nicholson; and many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.  A Funeral Service was held on Saturday, January 4, 2020 at 11 am at the First Baptist Church 341 North Shore Drive New Richmond, WI.  Visitation was also on Saturday from 9-11 am at the church.  Interment will be in Donald Cemetery at a later date.
