Charlotte was born and raised in Bisbee, Arizona, to William Vaselin and Helen Steier Peshikan on December 23, 1939. For many years, she proudly owned and operated Uniforms and Career Apparel. After retirement, Charlotte cared for others in a hospice environment.
First and foremost, she loved God, her family, and K-9 friend Bella. Charlotte was a devoted member of Edgewood Baptist Church in Rock Island, Illinois. She loved to travel especially to tropical locations, spending time on the Mississippi, listening to music, dancing, hosting holiday events, and shopping. Charlotte touched everyone she met with unconditional kindness and a touch of class. Her sweet soul will be missed by everyone she knew!
