Charlotte Rudie, a very kind and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend went home to the Lord on April 19, 2022 at the age of 81. She was born on May 24, 1940 to the late James and Goldie Novak. She attended local schools including Sheboygan Central High School. On May 31, 1958 Charlotte was united in marriage with Norman A. Rudie Jr. at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in Sheboygan. She worked many years in childcare and was also the owner of Shadows Corner. Charlotte was a people person and enjoyed playing games with her family and was often the instigator of shenanigans and pranks. She also enjoyed watching the Brewers and Packers with Sassy Kitty on her lap, and more than anything, she loved spending time with her children and grandchildren.
