Charlotte Norton (nee Mogren) was born on April 8, 1933, in Whitesboro, New York to Jalmer (Jack) and Allie Mogren. Charlotte graduated with honors from Whitesboro High School in 1951, took some business courses, and then went to work as a teller at the Savings Bank of Utica until she married the love of her life, George Robert (Bob) Norton in 1955. They settled in Alfred, New York where Bob was finishing his degree in Ceramic Engineering. They lived in a third story walk-up apartment and Charlotte worked in a jewelry store. When Bob graduated from college, they moved to Rochester, New York and soon welcomed their first child, Eileen, in 1956. Charlotte and Bob then built a house in Scottsville, New York and welcomed their second daughter, Kathleen (Kathy) in December of 1957. Their first son, Robert (Bob) was born in 1960, and their second son, William (Bill) was born in 1962.

Charlotte and Bob were members of the First United Presbyterian Church in Scottsville where Bob was a Mason and Charlotte was a member of Eastern Star. Charlotte was very artistic and painted wonderful Christmas, Easter, and Halloween scenes on the large picture window each year. She was a member of women's bowling leagues and golf leagues. Charlotte became an assistant Girl Scout leader, and she was a statistician for her sons' little league baseball teams. In 1970, Charlotte, Bob, and the family moved to LaGrange, Ohio when Bob's company transferred him to Elyria. Charlotte continued to volunteer as a Girl Scout leader, and to bowl and play golf.

In 1978, Charlotte, Bob, and their youngest son moved to Carey, Ohio where they remained until their son, Bill, graduated from high school. They then moved to Athens when Bob began to teach engineering courses at Hocking Technical College in Nelsonville and Charlotte became the secretary to the president of the bank in Nelsonville. Several years later, they moved to Wellington, Ohio where Bob accepted a teaching position at LCCC and Charlotte became the clerk-treasurer of the Herrick Memorial Library until she retired and began to work as a receptionist at Kathy's and Bill's law and tax office until they closed in 2014.

Charlotte enjoyed reading, sewing, knitting, crocheting, camping, hiking, bowling, playing golf, and traveling throughout the United States and Europe with Carolyn's Travels.

Charlotte was preceded in death by her parents, Jack and Allie Mogren, her husband, Bob Norton, and son in law, Dr. William (Bill) Fox. She is survived by her children Eileen (David) French, Kathleen Fox, Robert (Tami) Norton, and William (Sharon) Norton; her grandchildren, Crystal (Dean) Zusmer, of Florida, Dr. Lisa Fox, Thomas (Dr. Joyce Bore) Norton, Vincent Norton, Robert (Julie) Norton, Nicholas Norton, of Virginia, Christopher French, of Maryland, and Dakota (Kaitlyn) Fox; and her great grandchildren, Aidan Wright, Landon Norton, Adelynn Norton, Carson Norton, Cooper Norton, Elaina Norton, and Arya Norton.
