I've known Charlotte as she worked though many transitions in life: raising kids, heartache, big moves, and health issues. I loved the hugs we had! Even if she was working through something, she was always ready to share her life and to share goodness.

 

She had many passions and many talents in creating gorgeous and useful things. In the last decade, it seemed every time I came over, she had changed her living room around, or added some unique piece of furniture. She was an amazing cook, and an amazing mother, both of which have helped her boys grow into their own. I appreciated her thoughtfulness. She was always easy to be around.

 

I look forward to the happy tears we will share when we hug again! (1 Cor 15:26 and Isa 25:8) And the joy we will feel knowing that disease will never affect her or anyone else ever again. (Isa 33:24 and Matthew 11:5)

Charlotte came into our lives when she moved briefly to Marathon.

I remember a kind generous loving woman. Always happy to have visitors and share with others especially with those in need of compassion.

She had great artistic talents, this was seen in her cooking, baking and home decor. Also seen in her art work, she loved color, they spoke to her.

Without words she understood the broken ones and they felt safe with her and spending time with Mickael. My grandson benefited from her invitation to her home and spending time with her sons. There was no needs for words just being there and sharing in some activities

I remember Charlotte vividly like the day we went slidding how much she laughed. She had an impact.

See you again Charlotte

Charlotte and I met back in 1985? 86?

I am proud to have called her one of my best friends. Char loved getting her hair done, and had so many beautiful styles. I miss you Charlotte.

Charlotte was so lovely and kind. As a teen, I spent many Sundays at the roller rink with her. She showed me how to crochet while we watched the skaters. She was always singing, smiling and laughing. She would find common ground with strangers by knowing a few words in their language. It will be wonderful to see her again soon. 💞💞💞

Charlotte was a truly special sister and a friend for life. Her warm and loving spirit made every reunion feel like no time had passed at all. She had a beautiful gift for nurturing others, always extending a caring hand and a warm invitation to share in her love. Every time we work see her she’d say I need you to come over so I can cook for you! You could even feel her love in her cooking 😊 Her family was her world, and she spoke of them with such tenderness and devotion. One couldn’t help but notice the special glow in her eyes and the warmth and pride in her voice when she would speak of them, especially her boys. It's been a privilege to know someone who lived with such kindness and generosity of heart. Look forward to hearing that voice once again…

40+ years of friendship, it's hard to know where to begin. I was quiet and shy when I first met Char but, her warm, outgoing, friendly personality drew me in immediately.

This was a bond beyond friendship and she was always so proud to tell anyone she would introduce me to that I was her "BFF". I will truely miss everything about her, her laugh, her smile, her hugs, her giving nature. Our times cooking, dancing, laughing, secret sharing, texting, video calling, jewellery making, tea time, cleaning, organizing, moving furniture (yes, even these things) I will miss.

Her love for her boys, her family, my children knew no limits.

As she learned her diagnosis she found a new strength that was unlike anything I had seen. My heart ached for her but she ALWAYS had a smile.

The memories I have with Char are cherished, words can't express. April 10th, 2025, forever altered my life. I will love and miss her until the end of my days.

Charlotte was a wonderful friend and Co-worker. You could hear her boisterous laugh echo through the halls and she always had a bright smile on her face. I will miss her always and so glad I was able to call her a friend.

I am deeply saddened upon hearing the news of Charlotte's passing. Charlotte was a kind hearted, loving person who was always quick to help others without judgement or resentment. She was so genuine and a truly beautiful soul.

My heartfelt condolences to Charlotte's sons and those who were closest to her.

Her loss I am sure has left a deep and painful hole in the lives of everyone who knew her.

Love to you always Charlotte. 💔

Your cousin.

Charlotte was an amazing Friend,coworker, mother and so much more. Everyone that got the pleasure to know her, knows how good of a person she really was. She had a heart of gold that was filled with so much love for everyone around her. She was always there to help whenever it was needed. She had the most contagious laugh that filled the room with laughter. She gave the best Huggies that I will forever miss.

We miss you so much Charlotte and your memories will always remain with us forever. ❤️

The Charlotte we know was often a quiet soul. A smile never left her eyes. She made others feel good about little things in life. Good about themselves.

Charlotte had a positive outlook and looked for the good in people.

She was blessed with a family that stood by her in her illness.

She found her treasure in those who loved her through to her last days. Charlotte had a cheery disposition.

She will be missed for a little while until that last day when Christ will resurrect her to a new life in a paradise earth.

I've rarely met someone as kind and caring in life as Charlotte. She loved her children and family deeply. Any time we corresponded she was always so kind and gentle in nature. A truly good person that is loved and will be missed by so many.

Charlotte was a beautiful person, inside and out. Over the years, I witnessed her ability to connect with others time and again, she lead with her heart, and people always responded to her warmth.

Her Nephew's loved spending time with Aunty Charlotte. When we moved away and visits turned to video calls, the boys would always come when they heard her voice - excited to tell her stories and jokes.

Many times were spent together in the kitchen - with music, dancing and laughter.

We miss her deeply and look forward to the day we welcome her back. (John 5:28)

Charlotte was the oldest of 5 children. She had an amazing personality and always looked out for her siblings. We joked around and had good laughs. When she received a devastating diagnosis, she remained so positive and the strength in which she fought this disease was awe inspiring.

 

I will miss her and look forward to seeing her again. (Revelation 21:3,4)

My deepest condolences. I remember Charlotte as a young girl growing up alongside my family on Machray Ave. We often walked to the Kingdom Hall together and shared scriptures. Happy memories were made in the neighborhood. "There will be a resurrection." Acts 24: 15.

Charlotte Ramsaran, a cherished member of our team whose recent passing has left a deep ache in our hearts.
Charlotte was more than an Educational Assistant — she was a beacon of joy, warmth, and unwavering care. Her laughter could light up any room, her presence made people feel safe,
seen, and loved, and her support extended to every corner of our school community. She was dedicated to creating a better world, not only for the students she served, but for all of us. Charlotte believed in people — in their goodness, their potential, and in lifting each other up with kindness. Charlotte gave the
best of herself to this school, and her spirit will forever be part of our school. As we carry her memory forward, may we continue to walk in her example: offering a kind word, a listening
ear, and as she so often said to comfort others

"Would you like a huggie?"
Let’s keep holding each other up. That’s how
Charlotte would want it — with love, with laughter, and with care for every person we meet.

My niece Char had a big heart and always expressed her love with words and hugs. She was a compassionate and loving soul. She took an interest in others. Char embraced different cultures, enjoying their food, music and languages (especially Tagalog).

She was a great cook specializing in her curry dishes and roti made from scratch.

Family was very important to Char. From the time she was young she always enjoyed visiting and spending time with family and treasured all of those memories of happy times spent together. She would relate those memories and how much she valued them.

No matter how busy her day or week was she always kept in touch. She took time to connect and tell you about her week, her boys, her joys or concerns. Whatever the topic though she always had something cheerful to share.

I will miss our conversations. I will miss her contagious laughs, her big smiles and hugs.

I look forward to the day when Jehovah her God and creator will resurrect her back to life on the earth in paradise conditions. No more sickness, pain or death. (Revelation 21:3,4)

Char was a positive person who deeply loved her family and friends. She loved meeting new people and showed her positivity and love by taking the time to stay connected with you over phone and video calls whenever possible. She loved to listen to the details of the day, the goings-on in your life and to share her life story with you as well, day by day.

She was open and honest, kind and brave to list a couple of her many strong points. She had amazing strength and determination and loved her two boys whole heartedly.

In the face of illness she stood strong with endurance and tried to be unaffected. I know and believe that what we go through makes us who we are and moulds what we believe and become. She had been through worse and was stronger and she knew it.

Theres many great times to remember like when she would do an impression of dad and had everyone laughing! When she would make you something beautiful from wool or when she would happily send pictures of what she had accomplished.

Faith and hope help but I will miss her.

Younger brother,

Sam

Charlotte took pride and joy in others. When I hadn’t seen her in years, her warm disposition made it feel like we’d never been apart. Her conversations centered on all her family, friends, people she cared for at her workplace, even her pets. I didn’t see her much but when we connected, it was obvious she just wanted the best for everyone. She was sincerely compassionate toward all.

The 1st time I met Charlotte was in 2004.

My home town is Sarnia ON, and she came to visit a mutual friend. I was living with my grandmother at the time, and it happened that the group of us went for a walk in a local park. Charlotte was so kind and attentive to my Grandmother. That really stood out to me.

Years later I moved to Winnipeg and ended up meeting and marrying her cousin.

With the ups and downs of life getting in the way, I did not get to know Charlotte the way I would have wanted.

I observed her struggles and saw how she remained kind and cheerful in spite of them.

For now, she sleeps (John 11:11–13).

I look forward to seeing John 5:28 fulfilled. It will be a time for Charlotte to live the life that God meant all of us to live (1 Tim 6:19). A life of peace and fulfillment, with no fears or anxiety. My heart goes out to all her friends and family.

Please accept my condolences during this difficult time of grief and mourning.

Charlotte was a very warm and caring person. She will missed by staff and students she worked with at Mulvey School. Charlotte's legacy will live on through the countless lives she touched.

Charlotte and I had many chats about everything, especially her boys. She also showed me a funny video about the bird she had. The bird would tear strips of paper and put them in it's tail feathers. We had such a great laugh about that. Charlotte had a delightful laugh, you would hear in the hallways at school.

Elisha and Michael keep all those wonderful memories of your mom in your heart. She was a amazing mom and is still watching over you both. To Charlotte's family, I want you to know that I am sorry for your loss.

my mom was always smiling and caring for others, she loved working at mulvey school and talking about her co-workers.

 

she had so much people that loved her as much as she loved them and would always cheer them up, whenever i was sad, mad, happy or anything she would always be there to comfort me.

 

my favourite memory of my mom was when we would sit down when we were younger and watch fresh prince of bell air, mork and mindy and ect she would make popcorn and would cheer me and my brother up and spend time with us even when she was tired.

 

i liked when i would go to auntie barbs house and hang out in the basement with jessica and be the 7-9 year old kids we were

 

there were many ups and downs like me breaking my nose but my mom was there for me like any mother but would drop everything and be there for who ever she loved.

 

i don't know what to do with out my mom but i love her so so much and i'm just happy that i got to be there for her and grew up with my mom and

tell my kids when i'm older about my mom, i miss her so much but i know that she's proud of the things ive accomplished 💓

From the day I met Charlotte, she defined the word kind. From her caring nature, she didn't even have to say anything and you knew this woman was a thoughtful, empathetic, loving human being.

We will miss her very much at work. She brightened the halls and brought a peace to any room she worked in. She cared so much for the children she was surrounded by, and would only ever wish anyone her whole hearted well thoughts. Charlotte would be sure to share one of her hugs if she could tell you needed one, and they would always brighten your day. She was a wonderful person with an enthusiasm that was infectious.

To M.R. And E.R., my heart and thoughts are with you. Please know your community supports you, and we are so sorry for your loss.

May Charlotte rest in peace.

Charlotte never passed me in our work hallway without calling a friendly greeting.

Sometimes she offered a hug.

She did not hold back. She lived to the fullest.

Her laugh was quick and jolly.

I send condolences to her sons. I hope they can find comfort in each other and in their extended family and friends.

Rest in Peace Charlotte.

Char was always concerned with everyone's well being. One of her earliest expressions my parents remember is "Vickie is prying" (crying)

She was a kind helper by nature.

 

Char was well-liked & had a bubbly presence. She had a happy laugh & loved to give gifts to others. She often brought meals to those who were ill or needed some help. She enjoyed caring for her two sons and supporting them in their many endeavours.

 

Char was very talented with her hands & made beautiful items that she gifted to others. Some of her talents included playing classical double base, crocheting children's dresses & knit items and intricate jewelry as well as hair dressing & massage therapy.

 

She loved music of many kinds. And she enjoyed the languages, music and foods of many other cultures. She enjoyed cooking and caring for others. And she loved being an auntie.

 

As she suffered trauma in life she became a person of less words. But her acts of kindness remained. Char was a beautiful self-effacing person who loved old people and little ones. She also loved helping the children she worked with as an Educational assistant. She even enjoyed walking them to and from school for the 'walking school bus'.

We all look forward to hearing her joyous laugh & friendly banter when she is resurrected by her Grand Creator Jehovah God in the future (Job 14: 14, 15 in God's Word the Bible) 💕
