Charlotte Iverson, 90, passed away peacefully at Benedictine Living Community (Madonna Towers) in Rochester, MN on Thursday, June 9, 2022.
Charlotte Evelyn Iverson was born on the family farm, February 18, 1932 in Wanamingo, MN to Andrew and Elida (Erickson) Iverson. She grew up in rural Wanamingo, attended country school and ultimately graduated from Wanamingo High School in 1949. During her high school years, Charlotte was a majorette with the Wanamingo marching band. Charlotte and her twin brother, Charles, were the youngest of 4 children. Her twin brother couldn't pronounce "Charlotte", so she became known as "Sissy" to the family.
As a young woman, Charlotte moved to Rochester and worked as a desk attendant at the Mayo Clinic for 30 years, retiring in 1994. Over the years, she traveled to Florida, Haiti, Jamaica, Norway and various places in Europe and the U.S. Charlotte really enjoyed music and had a gift to play piano by ear. She was a lifelong member of Emmanuel Lutheran Church of Aspelund.
