Charlotte P. Dann, 93, Madison, formerly of Holmes Beach, Florida, and Poultney, Vermont


Charlotte P. Dann, 93, of Madison, formerly of Holmes Beach, Florida, and Poultney, Vermont, died on May 1 at the Connecticut Hospice in Branford. She was the wife of 50 years to the late Everett Dann. Charlotte was born on Dec. 23, 1919, in Fallsburg, New York, daughter of Emery and Edith Holmes Patmor. She was the first in her family to attend college, graduating from Syracuse University in 1940. She met her husband Everett while teaching math in Sandy Creek, New York, and together they moved to New City, New York, where they raised five children, and where Charlotte worked as a vice president and branch manager for Nanuet National Bank until she retired in 1979.

In retirement, Charlotte enjoyed travelling with Everett, and spent winters in Florida and summers in Vermont. She also loved spending time with family, gardening, playing the piano and organ, quilting, reading, and baking. She used her talents for many volunteer activities, including working at the thrift shop at Roser Memorial Community Church in Anna Maria, Florida, and sewing layettes for migrant workers.

At the age of 91, Charlotte moved to Madison to be closer to family and enjoyed two years at the Hearth at Tuxis Pond.

She will be sadly missed by her four children and their spouses, Joyce and Larry Gibson, Ron and Candy Dann, Roger and Kathy Dann, and Chris and Neal Scott, as well as six grandchildren, Ben Mattson, and Becky Hewitt, Christopher and Jessica Dann, and Nicole and Heidi Scott. She is also survived by three great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her daughter Marion Dann.
