Charlece (Williams) Roberts Cothrum

Body
Charlece (Williams) Roberts Cothrum, age 99, was called home by Jesus on Sunday, January 7, 2024. She was a resident of Tamarack Assisted Living in Altus, Oklahoma. Charlece was birthed to Stella Cliffa (McCurdy) Williams and Allen Bert Williams on August 14, 1924, in Granite, Oklahoma, where she lived most of her wonderful years. She joined a brother, Leon, who was 10 years old at her birth. Her father, Bert, passed away when she was around 10, leaving Charlece and her mother together in the home as Leon had left to begin his own family. Later, Stella married Bill Ewalt, but by that time Charlece had met the love of her life, Henry Roberts, and they were married in March of 1941, beginning their own home and family. Charlece and Henry spent the first years of their married life in California, where Henry had siblings and found work. They returned to the Granite area around 1947 with three girls; Judy, Melba Ruth, and June. Grandma’s help was available and needed because within two years, a baby boy, Henry, joined the family, followed by another baby boy, David, five years later. Charlece and Henry made their life on a farm north of Granite in the Lake Creek community until his passing in 1966. Everyone in the family of seven worked hard. Charlece was a wonderful mother and homemaker, although when they moved to the farm there was no electricity or running water. It didn’t take long for the REA lines to be run to their country home. It was not an easy life for Charlece, having lived in town all her life, but she once said she loved Henry so much, she would have followed him to the end of the earth. Henry was always proud of his wife and children, and like Charlece, worked hard to provide for them.
