Charlotte Ann Botti

– April 5, 2015

Charlotte Ann Thompson Jangraw Botti, loving wife, mother, grandmother and great- grandmother, died peacefully April 5, 2015, in Sun City Center, Fla., after a period of declining health at the age of 84.

She was the beloved wife of Stanley R Jangraw, to whom she was married for 39 years; after his death in 1987, she married Gerald T. Botti, and they were married for 16 years.

She was born in Lowell, Mass., on July 22, 1930, daughter of the late Leonard and Helen (Neipold) Thompson. She received her early education in the Lowell School System. She was employed early on at Donaldson’s Card and Gift Shop, where she was introduced to Stanley, and The Knew Knit Manufacturing Co. of Lowell.   She got a chance to enter into the world of electronics through the help of her brother-in-law, and she became a Quality Control Manager, her career until retirement.

She and Stanley were married Oct 2, 1948. Together they raised four children: Gary (Kathy) Jangraw of Valrico Fla.; Nancy Jangraw of Ruskin, Fla.; Scott (Karen) Jangraw of Nashua, N.H.; Carolyn (Paul) Jones of Ruskin. She is also survived by eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

She had seven sisters and two brothers. She is survived by sisters Frances Cooper and Mildred Honeywell, both of Lowell, and her very best friend in the whole world, Mary Ragsdale of Ruskin.

Charlotte married Jerry Botti on February 14, 1990. They moved to Florida in 1994, where they lived on the golf course and enjoyed all that Florida had to offer. They loved Disney, Busch Gardens and the beach.

In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations to LifePath Hospice, for the compassionate and loving care they gave her;   <a href="http://www.chaptershealth.org/giving/Donate-Now" target="_blank">www.chaptershealth.org/giving/Donate-Now</a>.
