Charlotte Anne Bryant passed away after a brave battle with Ovarian Cancer.
As a teenager, she was a member of Paso Robles Assembly No. 99 of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls. After serving as Worthy Advisor of that group, she was chosen to be a state officer and was selected as the Grand Representative of Arizona for 1981-1982.
She graduated from Paso Robles High School in 1979 and San Jose State in 1983. She did public relations and event management for a variety of Silicon Valley companies. One of the highlights of her career was working on the Smithsonian Tour for Intel where she made lifelong friends and developed a fondness for lambie butter.
She loved camping, her favorite spot was Calaveras Big Trees, and she went there many times over the years with dear friends and family. She was a master at cooking over the open fire.
Food was a passion for Charlotte, particularly grilled in her backyard. She loved small plates and appetizers. She frequently hosted the family Christmas Eve dinner serving pub food to her adored nieces and nephew which always included pigs in a blanket. Charlotte collected recipes. She was clipping recipes up until the end, even when she was residing in assisted living and didn't have a stove.
In 1998, Charlotte moved to her home on Sutter Street in Folsom. She spent hours trying to tame her garden, pulling out river rock until her hands were raw. Her heart will always be under the sycamore tree that umbrellaed that house.
Charlotte was a quirky girl, hard to read at times and so no one knew the toll losing her mother and best friend had on her. She never recovered from that loss. She developed Wernicke Korsakoff Syndrome in 2014, a pernicious condition that no one talks about, and she never really understood or accepted. It was disabling and led to her withdrawal from many friends and colleagues.
Eventually she had to move to assisted living so that she could get the help she needed. She was surrounded by people a few decades older, but she was an old soul and fit right in. Her cancer diagnosis came at the start of the pandemic. She understood cancer and fought valiantly. She did kick it for a while, but when it came back in January, she opted for hospice.
The last five months were pretty special. Her family and friends were able to do fun things with her and prepare themselves for what was to come. Even on her last day, she had a taco from Jack-in-the-Box and a sip of Chardonnay, compliments of her nieces.
Charlotte is survived by two sisters, a brother-in-law, three nieces, a nephew, aunts and uncles, and many cousins. She also leaves behind her cat, Earl Grey.
Her family is grateful for the many doctors, nurses, and caregivers at UC Davis at the Alzheimer's Disease Center, the Comprehensive Cancer Center and Hospice, whose care for Charlotte and counsel to her family and friends will never be forgotten.
Her family and friends will continue to celebrate Charlotte's life and memory in the years to come and encourage you to do the same.
