Charlotte's obituary

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mrs. Charlotte "Char" Rudicel, who was born on June 1, 1950. Charlotte, lovingly known as Char by her friends and family, was a cherished member of her community and leaves behind a legacy of love and fond memories.

Charlotte is survived by her granddaughter Elliana Rudicel and her daughter Kaitlyn Rudicel . She is also survived by her siblings Gary, Ronnie, Britt, Randy, and Jeff Fenner, as well as her sister-in-laws Karen, Robin, Lee, and Juanita Fenner, her aunt Margaret Gonzalez, and other lived cousins. Additionally, Charlotte is survived by her son-in-law Freddie Yasin (Kaitlyns husband) and beloved family members Judy Byrwa and Scarlet Kolenc, and many nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband James Rudicel, son Ryan Rudicel, sister Marlene Fenner, brother Keith Fenner, mother Anna Fenner, father Richard Fenner, and cousin Kenneth Gonzalez.

Charlotte graduated from Fordson High School in Dearborn, Michigan, in 1968. She later married James Rudicel in 1982, with whom she had two children. Charlotte's life was marked by both joy and tragedy, with the birth of her children and the heartbreaking loss of her son Ryan James Rudicel in 1987.

A devoted grandmother, Charlotte was delighted by the birth of her grandchild in 2015. She had a passion for life and enjoyed simple pleasures such as spending time with her family, watching her favorite TV shows and movies, and listening to her favorite music. Some of her favorite artists included Fleetwood Mac, Roy Orbison, Alan Jackson, Enya, Shania Twain, Leeann Rimes, Tim McGraw, and Eminem.

Charlotte had a taste for adventure and loved to travel, with some of her favorite vacation spots including Acapulco, Mexico, Mackinac Island, Gatlinburg Tennessee, and Colorado. She was an avid fan of the Lions football team and enjoyed playing games like Catchphrase and the Christmas story game at family gatherings.

Charlotte had a zest for life and a love for delicious food, with her favorite dishes featuring mini tacos, Westland Family Diner dishes, Kaitlyn's fried lemon chicken, fries with brown gravy, and loose burgers.
