Life for Charlie and her husband Ransom has been an adventure with many changes of lifestyle from living in the city, to living on the water to living on a farm. Charlie's hobbies included bowling, knitting, boating, fishing, motorcycling, and spending time with her two dogs, but her favorite times were going to dinner with friends and family and playing cards. She loved to travel and spent 3 to 4 months a year in the RV on trips all over the US. Her favorite place was Prouty Beach in Newport, Vermont, where she visited family and friends. Her biggest joy was the Hebert Family reunion, which took place every two years, with the last one in 2011 having 156 attendees. Visitation will be held Wednesday, January 11th from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at Eastman Funeral Home, 200 West Main Street, New London where a funeral service will be held Thursday at 11 a.m. with Pastor Ben Black officiating.
