🌸✨ Saturday Spotlight: Meet Charlotte! ✨🌸
This week, our Saturday Spotlight shines on one of our wonderful residents — the warm, kind, and lovely Charlotte! ❤️
Charlotte was born on October 7, 1946, in Orangeburg, South Carolina 🍑, to Johnny and Ruth Moorer. She grew up in Dorchester County, where her father was a farmer 🌾 and her mother worked at a local fashion boutique 👗. She had one brother, John, her “baby brother” whom she loved to spoil.
Charlotte attended Harleyville High School, where she was part of the Beta Club and on the Homecoming Court each year 👑. Known for her kindness, friendliness, and Southern charm, Charlotte truly never met a stranger. ✨
After graduating, she began her career at the VA Hospital in Charleston 🇺🇸, later transferring to Atlanta in 1968. It was there she met her lifelong friend Kitty Ackerman 💞, and the two have stayed close through every chapter of life.
That same year, Charlotte met Arthur “Bub” Wilson 🎳 in a bowling league — and the rest is history! They married in 1973 and made their home in Brookhaven 🏡, where they spent 42 wonderful years together surrounded by family, friends, and a beautifully kept garden. 🌹
Together, Charlotte and Bub shared a love for travel 🚐✨ — spending months exploring the Smoky Mountains, Florida, and Mississippi coasts, attending Navy reunions ⚓, and making lifelong friends along the way.
Charlotte retired early and enjoyed a full life filled with family, friendship, and community. She’s a proud grandmother of seven — lovingly known as “Me Me” 💖and with “Pa Pa Bub,” she hosted countless family celebrations. From Easter egg hunts and birthdays to Christmas mornings and camping trips 🏕️, their home was always full of laughter, good food, and love.
Charlotte’s heart for others has always been one of her defining traits. In her twenties through forties, she often helped elderly neighbors — running errands, driving them to appointments, or simply spending time together 💕. It’s no surprise she’s known at Magnolia for being sweet, approachable, and genuinely kind.
She’s also a wonderful Southern cook 🍰, famous for her to-die-for carrot cake, boiled peanuts 🥜, and corn pie 🥧. Always prepared for anything, Charlotte keeps backup flashlights, batteries, and water on hand 🔦 — just in case!
Thoughtful and generous, Charlotte never forgets a birthday or special occasion 💌. (We’re convinced Hallmark should have her on payroll!) When relaxing, she enjoys dance music 💃, especially the jitterbug, and watching Pretty Woman — “because of Richard Gere,” of course. 😉🎬 Her favorite color is red ❤️, and if anything stresses her out, it’s being behind on paperwork 📝!
Charlotte is also a longtime member of Oak Grove United Methodist Church ⛪, where she attended for many years and continues to watch services online.
Here at Magnolia, Charlotte brings warmth, grace, and a bright spirit wherever she goes. She’s a wonderful listener, a true friend, and a joy to be around. 🌟
Charlotte, thank you for sharing your kindness, humor, and heart with all of us — you make Magnolia feel like home. 💕
