Charlotte was born in Kansas City, KS and grew up in Bonner Springs, KS. She met the love of her life, Robert J Earhart, in Mill City, OR while visiting her sister. She graduated from High School on May 26, 1961 and was married on May 27, 1961. Charlotte and Bob settled in Springfield, MO, which became home.

Charlotte was saved at age 8 and served faithfully in her church until she was physically unable to do so. She also worked for many years at Baptist Bible College and Baptist Bible Fellowship. Because of this, she became "Mom" to so many "kids"! It wasn't unusual for her phone to ring and when she answered (it could be from anywhere in the world), someone said "Hi, Mom!"

Charlotte and Bob had two children, Cheryl and Ron. Her family was the most important thing in her life. Her family dinners were legendary! If you went home hungry, it was your own fault. Christmas was her favorite time of year. There were times when it took hours to open gifts. Her philosophy was that every child should have multiple gifts to open...and stockings were the best!

Charlotte was preceded in death by her parents, Melvin and Jennie Dale. She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Robert, daughter Cheryl Donnelly (Tim), son Ron Earhart (Dianna), 2 grandsons, Justin Earhart (Jessica), Tyler Earhart (Kayla) and three great-grandchildren, Marina Earhart, Christian "Wild-Man" Earhart and her namesake, Charlotte (Charlee) Earhart, all of Springfield, MO. She is also survived by Kathy Bradley, (Mark), AR daughter of her heart, 4 sisters; Patty Smith, MO, Sandy Blancarte (Frank) KS, Jan Witte (Dick) CO, and Pam Quinlan (John) Philippines; 1 brother, Mickey Dale (Joan) KS; too many cousins, nieces and nephews to mention, all of her "adopted" kids and a host of friends.

A memorial service will be held at Greenlawn North Funeral Home, on November 11, 2017 at 10:00 am. In lieu of flowers, Charlotte asked that donations in her memory be sent to Baptist Bible Fellowship International PO Box 191, Springfield, MO 65801. Memorial donations may be made in Charlotte's name to Baptist Bible Fellowship Missions.
