She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 63 years, Al Horvath, her parents, and three brothers. Charlotte is survived by son Craig (Judy) Horvath of Fife Lake, Michigan, daughter Christine (Gene) Neil of Lowell, grandchildren; Jeff (Heaven) Neil of Pea Ridge, Katie Horvath of Traverse City, Michigan, Alicia White of Bentonville, Julie (Jayson Spaulding) Horvath of Honor, Michigan, and Chris Horvath of Traverse City, Michigan, and great-grandchildren; Blake and Caleb Neil of Pea Ridge, Elayna Vyas of Traverse City, Michigan and Leaf and Jinta Spaulding of Honor, Michigan. She graduated from Plymouth Michigan High School and from Cleary University in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Her outstanding accomplishments include, being on the Board for NOARK Girl Scout Council and starting Camp NOARK. She was the leader of Girl Scout Troop 91 for over 18 years. Charlotte was the first recruiter for Head Start in Pea Ridge, Bentonville and Rogers. She was on the first Board for Rogers Community Day Care and was Director for at least 26 years. She was on the first Board for Single Parent Scholarships. In 1974, she was one of the leaders to create a historical museum in Rogers. For 42 years she volunteered at the Rogers Historical Museum. Charlotte also volunteered at St. Mary's Hospital and then at Mercy Hospital for over 58 years with over 10,000 hours. In her words, "A big thank you to the City of Rogers for allowing me the opportunity to give back a little something to this community that I call Home. I will always be grateful to my husband for moving my family to Arkansas with Daisy in 1958. I started volunteering as a docent at St. Mary's Hospital and Rogers Historical Museum. I never imagined I would be thinking how fortunate to have such a treasured place to record history. I now know that it is true one gets more out of volunteering than one gives. I gratefully acknowledge past historians and current recorders of history and to my family and friends for support these many years. Hooray for Rogers, Arkansas." Charlotte's whole life has been one of service. Visitation will be Thursday, December 15th from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at First Presbyterian Church in Rogers, Arkansas with funeral service to follow at 11 a.m. Officiating will be Rev. Dr. Ronnie Prevost. The family requests instead of flowers donations, be given to the Rogers Historical Museum Foundation and to First Presbyterian Church, "Mortgage Reduction" of Rogers.
