te ste r was the fourth of eight children bom to
the late Johnny and Rosa Hester.
During the early years of Charlotte's life, she dedicated her life to Christ and was baptized by the late Rev. McCoy.
After graduating from the Academy of Richmond County, she started her lifelong career choice as a Nusring Assistant.
She became ill during the early stages of her career but since this was a life she lived, Charlotte was often seen putting her illness on the back burner to help someone else. She was a kindhearted and caring person who will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Charlotte leaves to cherish her memory: three sisters, Carolyn Johnson, Rosa Pritchett and Barbara McCants, all of Augusta, Georgia; four brothers, Johnny Hester, Jr., Alvin Hester, Herbert Hester and Donald Hester, all of Augusta, Georgia; nieces and nephews', aunts, Annie Louise Board, Ella Stokes and Emma Hester, all of Augusta, Georgia; uncles, Freddie White Sr. and Eddie Hester; and a host of friends.
^farewell gFamif^
Farewell myfamily, don't weep For I'm at peace now, just asleep. Farewell myfamily, I'm not alone The Mighty "Maker" has led me safely home. Just think back over the many years, How the family seemed so strong, holding back tears. Yet God somehow always made a way And I thanked Him every nightfor another day. Be good myfamily, always love each other Be strong myfamily, strong in heart The blood ties, no one can ever part. And if somewhere I made a mistake As you live many will you make. Farewell myfamily, I've been called away.
Walk with God, trust in God For He is by your side.
