Charlotte Archer

It is with profound sadness and a deep sense of loss that we announce the peaceful passing of Charlotte Archer on September 30, 2026, in the comforting presence of her devoted husband, Ken. Born on October 6, 1945, in Fairview, Ohio, Charlotte was the cherished daughter of Samuel and Phylis Lumadue. She was predeceased by her loving parents and her dear sister, Janet Daley. Charlotte shared an extraordinary bond with her husband, Ken, to whom she was married for nearly 63 years. Their love story began on October 26, 1963, and together they built a family filled with love, laughter, and countless memories. Charlotte is survived by her beloved husband, Ken, and their five children: Kenneth (Melissa) Archer, Thomas Archer, Donald (Christina) Archer, Michelle (Archer) Buckhannon and Dennis Archer. Her legacy of love continues through her grandchildren Trent (Skylar) Archer, Tyler (Christina) Archer, Thomas Archer, Ashley Jennings, James (Bri) Morrison, Cody (Candy) Buckhannon, Corey Archer, Dillon Buckhannon, and Briauna Archer, as well as her 15 great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her siblings, brothers Malcolm, Larry, and David Lumadue, and sisters Sue Kenska and Linda Young, who will fondly remember her warmth and kindness. Charlotte's life was a tapestry woven with love and devotion, exemplified by the beautiful quilts she crafted for her family. These quilts were more than just blankets; they were expressions of her love and care, a tangible reminder of the warmth she brought into the lives of her family. Family gatherings were a source of joy for Charlotte, and she cherished every moment spent with those she loved. Her adventurous spirit found joy in camping and traveling with Ken, with Myrtle Beach holding a special place in her heart. Alongside her human family, Charlotte adored her furry companions. Her late dog, Cisco, and her faithful companion, Poncho, brought her endless joy and comfort, especially in her toughest times. Charlotte will be remembered as a beacon of love and kindness, a woman whose compassionate spirit left an indelible mark on everyone she met. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of her family and friends, who were privileged to know her and be touched by her gentle soul.
