I met Mrs Teel during Lady Lancers soccer when Charlene played. My sympathies to everyone.

Of all of the souls I have known so far in this life, her's was one of the kindest and compassionate. What a great Lady ! I very often remember a long night walking and winning stuffed animals with her and Charlene on the boardwalk in Wildwood. Great memory.
I was so lucky to have Mom-mom, who would stay up until 9 or 10pm to greet my family traveling up from VA to visit. Not only would she stay up late to greet us, but she’d do so with a huge smile on her face and enough energy to tell stories and fiddle around the kitchen offering us every snack available. Mom-mom was a great storyteller and I cherish the times sitting around her kitchen table listening to her giggle about this or that. I’ll miss the random songs from musicals she’d burst out singing (this quality she definitely passed onto my mom). Another memory of Mom-mom is the time she’d put into crafting paper plate March for Life signs for all of the kids who didn’t have/forgot signs. She recruited the help of her grandkids for this activity and I had so much fun decorating those paper plates with her. These are just a few memories of my time with Mom-mom, which I will hold near to my heart until we meet again. She was the best.

I have many memories of Mrs Teel from childhood of her kindness and caring nature, combined with a wonderful sense of humor. Even when my poor teenage driving landed Cindy and myself in neck collars, she showed only kindness and concern. I went on many trips to DC with her in the lead. What a wonderful woman who had a great and impactful life. -Maria Lattouf Anderson
I fondly remember Charlotte from St Peter’s Riverside. We attended so many of the same events. Charlotte was steadfast in her love of the Blessed Mother as well as with her voice for the unborn. There were little Godwinks as our families’ history intersected from Philadelphia to Riverside, from Little Flower to Holy Cross. Charlotte indeed exuded goodness, kindness and love! I was happy anytime I saw Charlotte and I am blessed to have known her.

In 1974 I attended the first National Right to Life March with Charlotte. I was 16 but I remember vividly that train ride to snowy, Washington,DC with Charlotte,two priests and my mother. Charlotte's passion for the unborn inspired both my mother, Rosemary, and me. Mom worked with Charlotte for years on prolife issues and attended many more marches with her. I continued knowing Charlotte and her family as one of her babysitters. That was one busy household but one filled with love for God and family.I can easily recall her gentle voice, her sweet smile and her wonderful sense of humor. Charlotte was a beautiful soul and I consider myself so blessed to have known her.
"May the angels lead you into paradise”
“May the martyrs receive you at your arrival and lead you to the holy city Jerusalem”
“May the choir of Angels greet you”
“May you have eternal rest, Charlotte. Amen."
We lived next door to Charlotte and even though my Mom was approximately 30 years older, Charlotte became a good friend to my Mom and the best of neighbors. As my Mom got old and wasn't able to drive anymore, Charlotte drove her to daily Mass and was so patient and kind to my Mom. She has such respect for the elderly. She even one day was apologizing that she had a van and wished she had a car that was easier for my Mom to get into. Her husband Ray also helped my Mom. Charlotte was always worried about everyone else and was always asking me to pray for someone who was sick. We kept in touch by email after we moved and Charlotte was so proud of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and always sending me pictures and was so excited when another grandchild or great grandchild was born.
In almost every email she was retelling a joke she heard and she love it when I shared a joke with her. She had such a nice sense of humor! I am grateful she lived next door to us in Cinnaminson. My Mom and Charlotte are neighbors again (in eternal life). Charlotte and family are in my prayers.
