Biography of Charlotte Schadler
2009 Nominee - Orpha Gatch Citizenship Award

Charlotte Schadler is 79 years young this year. She may be retired but she has not stopped working! Charlotte is a member of Touching Little Lives, an organization that serves the needs of babies in Ohio. She volunteers for Region 2 in Eastgate and they meet monthly at the Teen Challenge Ranch. They sew, knit and quilt blankets, hats and onesies for preemie babies that are hospitalized in the local hospital neo-natal intensive care units. Charlotte also volunteers at the Women’s Home of Teen Challenge that serves pregnant women.

Charlotte is a volunteer for the Yellow Ribbon Support Center and the Let Us Never Forget Scholarship Fund. Recently she was chosen as the Yellow Ribbon “Packer of the Month.” She rarely misses a Thursday to help pack boxes that are shipped to our service men and women. She said she feels blessed to be able to help.

Charlotte is the “Queen Mother” of the Milford Red Hat Sassy Ladies Society. Each Christmas the Sassy Ladies’ Chapter purchases new winter outfits for a local boy and girl. These gifts are presented to CASA-Clermont for Kids.

Charlotte brings joy to those around her with her singing and dancing making the work go by faster. In the words of her nominator, Charlotte never says “no” when asked and she is always there to help. Charlotte said, “I turned 79 on June 24th and I will continue to serve as a volunteer wherever I am needed.
