CHARLOTTE ANN ERICKSON HURST
1931-2018
Charlotte Ann Erickson Hurst, 87, passed away on Saturday, October 13, 2018 after a courageous 5 month battle with lung cancer.
Charlotte was born to Paul and Madelyn Erickson in California, Mo. on June 6, 1931. She grew up with a loving family of first generation Americans from Sweden. Charlotte went on to be an excellent basketball player for the Macon High School Girls' basketball team, met the love of her life down the street from her childhood home, and worked for the local newspaper the Macon Chronical Herald.
She married her childhood friend Melvin, and left Macon to build her new life. She worked as a secretary for Sinclair Oil Company, and as an editor for a local newspaper in Tulsa before having her daughter Susan, and son Jeff. She moved to Houston Texas, a place she would ultimately call home.
Charlotte loved taking care of, and spending time with her family and friends. Family was her primary passion. Charlotte was also an avid sports fan.
Charlotte loved reading. She was a "well known" patron of the Meyer Park, Stella Link, and Bellaire libraries. Every morning she looked forward to reading the newspaper, and finish up with the crossword puzzle of the day.
Charlotte has joined her family in heaven. Parents Paul and Madelyn Erickson, brother Dick Erickson, sisters Janet Johnson and Phyllis Andrews, and husband Melvin, of 68 years, who passed 5 months previously.
Charlotte leaves behind her daughter Susan Edge and son Jeff Hurst, grandchildren Shawn Hurst, Matthew Hurst, Brian Edge and wife Becca, Kelly Hurst and wife Jenna, Emily Fenlon and husband Mark, and great grandchildren Cameron, Charlotte, Molly, Jasmine, Dylan, Nathan, Justin, Austin, Kaitlyn and Elix.
