She earned a bachelor’s in education from Eastern Illinois University and taught elementary school for 27 years. Charlotte had a large impact on many students in the Howell area and enjoyed the ability to touch a young person’s life. Children were the blessing of her life and this was evident in the joy she got from her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Spraggins loved to tend to her flower gardens, walk the beaches of Florida, travel both domestically and internationally, interior decorating, shopping, teaching both Sunday School and Vacation Bible School and hosting family get-togethers.
