An animal lover, Charlotte bred and showed Great
Danes, including Blue Ribbon winner "Tigan."
Once honored by the American Women's Business

several successful businesses over the years.
Throughout her life, Charlotte, or "Mama," was
known for her kind heart, bingo skills and
legendary Parker House rolls.
Charlotte is survived by her husband, Leslie S.
Perin, siblings Lavelle, Jerry, Vicky, Jim,
Buddy and their families, her son, Ken Miles,
step-children Thea, Steph, Charlie and Cindy;
and her "Kazemba Kids" David (Liz), Brian
(Maggie), Kayla (Andy) and Kara (Kevin).
Charlotte was "Grandma Char" to Jon, son of Ken;
as well many others and is survived by numerous
nieces, nephews and great-grandchildren who lit
up her world with their visits and handmade
artwork.
Charlotte was preceded in death by her parents,
Jake and Edith (Wood) Carter, sister Carolyn
(Carter) Wiggins and daughter Lisa Kay (Miles)
Kazemba.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a
