Charlotte was born on February 25, 1936 to William Yarbrough, Jr and Lois McWhirter Yarbrough in Ramsey, Illinois. After graduating from Vandalia Community High School in 1955, she joined her husband in Germany where he was stationed while serving in the army.
After returning from Germany, they went on to have three children, Steve Bone of Bolivar, Missouri, Pam Bone of Fort Worth, Texas and Connie Tweedy (Kerrick) of Bolivar, Missouri.
Charlotte was an out-going, loving and kind person. She greeted others openly with a warm smile on her face. Being around family brought her joy and she took pride in making them many special meals and sewing clothes for her children when they were young.
After her children were grown, she spent many weekends socializing at local dances and twenty years serving the public in her role at Hardee’s in Greenville, Illinois as well as Burger King and Wendy’s in Vandalia, Illinois. Before moving to an assisted living facility in Bolivar, Missouri in 2012 to be near family, she was an active member of Bethel Baptist Church in Vandalia.
Charlotte was preceded in death by her parents and step-mother Sally Yarbrough, her older brother Maurice Yarbrough and brother-in-law George Davison.
