Charlotte M. O'DonnellAugust 08, 1925 - September 13, 2008 Age 83 of Eagan
Died September 13, 2008 from complications of dementia. For three years the disease slowly stole from her mind and, finally, her body. If could not, however, diminish her heart and soul, her politeness and grace, her spirit and kindness. Charlotte was a dedicated public servant for schools and city government in Inver Grove Heights; an accomplished seamstress, author, gardener, artist, home decorator, party planner, cook and baker; and she generously shared her time and love with her large and devoted family. Preceded in death by parents, Leonard and Gladys; sister-in-law, Doris; and adoring husband of nearly 51 years, Edward; & brother, Allan Dols.
