Charlotte Anne Price

Charlotte Anne (Germann) Price, 76, of Napoleon, Ohio died peacefully on Tuesday, February 13th, 2024, at the Napoleon Genacross/Lutheran Home surrounded by her daughters. Charlotte was born November 3rd, 1947, in Defiance, Ohio to the late Harold and Regina (Sonnenberg) Germann. She married James Price on April 8, 1967, at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Napoleon and he preceded her in death on October 17, 2007. Charlotte was a 1965 graduate of Wauseon High School. Charlotte's kind and loving heart led her into a career of developing and improving services aimed at enhancing the lives of older adults. Through her career as the Senior and Nutrition Services Director at Northwestern Ohio Community Action Commission Charlotte developed, supported, and improved lives through various programs including Elderly Nutrition, Senior Centers, Medicaid Waivers, and the SPARK/Intergenerational Tutor/Mentor Programs. Charlotte was a pioneer and fierce advocate of creating change to make the lives of aging adults better. Charlotte retired in 2009 after many years of serving others. Her faith in Jesus Christ was an important part of her life and she was a faithful member of St. Paul Lutheran Church, Napoleon, where she also married the love of her life, Jim. Through her faith and love of helping others Charlotte served on numerous boards and committees to enhance the Northwest Ohio community. Including serving on the Genacross/Lutheran Home Mission Board. Most of all, she loved her family. She was blessed to be born into a large German Henry County family. She had a special bond with her cousins, the Sophie Sistas. She loved her daughters, grandchildren, and their families. Whether traveling to visit her daughters’ families or enjoying their visits to Ohio she was happiest in their presence. Charlotte loved to entertain, plan and host events, cook for others, decorate, and was the best gift giver and card sender. Her strength and independence will live on in her daughters. She is survived by her daughters, Molly (Rick) Biddle and Mende (Lorne) Symington; grandchildren, Wesley (Kim) & Riley Biddle, and Taylor & Max Symington; brother, Randy Germann, and sister-in-law, Susan Germann. She was also preceded in death by a brother, Terry Germann and sister-in-law, Phyllis Germann. We want to give a special thank you to the Elara Caring Hospice Foundations staff for their amazing care of our mother.
