Notifications from Norma Deardorff Plummer and Alene Rudolph Rondeau informed us of the passing of Charlotte Compton, Roger's 99-year old mom. It so happens Charlotte was also Jim Tharp's mother-in-law, as he married Roger's sister, Mary, in 2002 after losing his wife, our classmate Sharon Soukup, to cancer in early 1998. What follows is Mrs. Compton's obituary:
"Charlotte J. Compton, nee Ross, 99, of Downers Grove passed away. Beloved wife of the late Alexander; loving mother of Don (Roberta), Roger and Mary (Jim) Tharp; devoted grandmother of 12; great-grandmother of 13 and great-great grandmother of 1. Charlotte was one of 9 children. Her brother Charles (Betty) Ross is her only surviving sibling. Charlotte was an avid gardener, participated in a Scrabble club and a quilting group. Visitation will be Friday, August 6, 2010 from 10 a.m. at Toon Funeral Home, 4920 Main St., Downers Grove, until time of services at 12:00 p.m. Interment Clarendon Hills Cemetery, Darien, IL. In lieu of flowers, memorials to the Lupus Foundation of America, Inc., P.O. Box 631047, Baltimore, MD 21263-1047 would be appreciated."
Our sympathy goes out to Roger, Jim and Mary, and the rest of the family.
