On Tuesday, December 2, 2025, Heaven's Gates opened and an angel ascended our beloved Charlotte Laverne Blowe into eternal rest. She was surrounded by family as she peacefully transitioned.

Charlotte was born and raised in Dinwiddie, VA and spent the rest of  her adult years in Petersburg. She received the right hand of fellowship at Good Shepherd Baptist Church 35 years ago. She was hard working and devoted to all that knew her. She worked at Seward Luggage for over 40 years until she retired. She also worked at Virginia Linen for a number of years. She will surely be missed and forever be in our hearts.
