Charlotte J. Duebber

Charlotte Duebber, a compassionate and thoughtful woman, passed away on November 14, 2023, at the age of 95. She was born on December 15, 1927, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to her loving parents William and Jesse (nee Vogt) Gatrell.

Charlotte was a woman of simple pleasures and found joy in the little things in life. She had a deep love for animals and always went the extra mile to care for them. Her involvement in her local church and choir brought her immense spiritual peace and fulfillment. She valued the power of music, particularly religious and easy listening, which echoed through her soul.

Known for her compassionate nature, Charlotte touched the lives of many through her acts of generosity. She never hesitated to lend a helping hand and donated to anyone who sent a request. Her kindness and warm-heartedness knew no bounds.

In her earlier years, Charlotte was a diligent worker in everything she did. She dedicated herself to her work with utmost dedication and diligence.

Charlotte was a woman who valued the importance of family. She was blessed with a loving son, Thomas (Constance) Duebber, and a caring daughter, Beverly (Jeffrey) Lefever. She was also a proud grandmother to Benjamin (Stephanie) Duebber, Timothy (Libby) Duebber, Gregory (Vicky) Lefever, and Douglas Lefever, twelve beautiful great grandchildren, Megan, Colbie, Lincoln, Asher, Izzy, Quincy, Weston, Sylvia, Mac, Sunday, Bella and Asaiah, and a wonderful sister to Wilma. Her family brought her infinite joy and happiness, and she treasured every moment spent with them.

Sports, especially baseball, held a special place in Charlotte’s heart. She was an avid supporter of the Cincinnati Reds and would cheer on her beloved team with unbridled enthusiasm. The red of their jerseys mirrored her favorite color, which she found vibrant and full of life.

One of her most treasured memories was a childhood adventure with her sister, riding in a red wagon down State Road. This moment of pure innocence and joy stayed with her throughout her life, symbolizing the simplicity and wonder she embraced.

Chocolate was not only Charlotte’s favorite food, but it also earned her the endearing nickname of “Chocolate” from one of her aunts. She found solace in its sweet and indulgent taste, a simple pleasure she relished.

Charlotte Duebber shared over 50 years of marriage with her late husband Bill. Together, they built a life filled with love, companionship, and shared memories. Their union served as an inspiration to all those around them.

As we mourn the loss of Charlotte Duebber, let us remember her caring and loving spirit, her dedication to her family, and the joy she found in the simple pleasures of life. Her presence will be deeply missed but the impact she has made on the lives she touched will forever be cherished.
