Charlotte passed away on Thursday, March 13, 2025, at Pioneer Ridge Nursing, surrounded by her children.
She was born July 25, 1942, in New Castle, PA, the daughter of Fred and Anna Corsi.

Charlotte lived in Pennsylvania, California, Texas, Virginia, Kansas, and Hawaii – finally settling in Kansas. Charlotte’s loves included faith, family, cooking, fishing, camping, bowling, playing card games, getting her nails done, watching sports (anything her kids/grandkids were in, Jayhawks and Chiefs), and playing Bingo!
Charlotte is survived by her son, Steve Marino (Vickie), Lecompton, KS; daughter, Marci Borden (John), Midlothian, VA; daughter, Trudy Ames, Longmont, CO; brother, Fred Corsi (Nancy), Ventura, CA; six grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, nine grand-dogs, and one grand-bunny. She was preceded in death by her parents, brother, and sister.
A Celebration of Life will take place at 10:30am, Saturday, March 29, 2025 at the Lecompton United Methodist Church, 401 Elmore St, Lecompton, KS, 66050.
