Charlotte E. Colhoun
Sept. 6, 1923-Sept. 1, 2018

Charlotte E. Colhoun of Moraga, Calif., passed away on Saturday, Sept. 1, 2018 at the age of 94, five days short of her 95th birthday.
Charlotte was born outside of Omagh, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland to Orr and Phoebe Kyle on Sept. 6, 1923, one of five children. In 1944 she married William J. (Jim) Colhoun and immigrated to California three years later with dreams in their hearts and one small child. Two more boys followed. They raised their family in Oakland, Calif., until moving to Orinda in 1964 and operated their sales business, which Charlotte continued to run following her husband's passing in 1979.
Charlotte was a member of the Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church and several community organizations helping people and families in need. She was awarded Volunteer of the Year for her volunteer work at the Frank Robinson Center by the Oakland Rotary Club in 1998.
Charlotte is survived by three sons, Albert (Nancy), James (Lisa) and Norman (Janice), her grandchildren, Heather, Shannon, Jeff, Julie, Kevin, and Katie, and her brother, Orr Kyle.
A gracious and loving woman, she will be missed by all especially the wonderful staff at Aegis Assisted Living in Moraga, where she resided the last six years. The family invites all to attend a memorial to Charlotte on Oct. 3, 2018, 11:30 am, at the Lafayette-Orinda Presbyterian Church, 49 Knox Drive in Lafayette, CA. A reception will be held following the Celebration of Life. Please RSVP to Jim Colhoun by Sept. 28 if you can attend at (925)200-2795 or by email at Jim@APR.com.
