She graduated from Clarke County High School in Berryville, Virginia in 1966. Charlotte earned her bachelor’s degree in education at Madison College in Harrisonburg, Virginia in 1970. She taught school for three years in Fredrick County, Virginia. She returned to college to become a lab technician and worked for many years in Luray, Virginia as a lab technician. Charlotte enjoyed teaching Sunday school and was a Sunday school teacher in Berryville for several years. She worked in Mt. Hebron Cemetery for numerous years as a secretary in Winchester, Virginia. At the same time, she worked nights at the Berryville Pharmacy as a pharmacy technician. Charlotte was united in marriage to Lynn Buechler on August 13, 1994 at her church in Berryville. After her marriage to Lynn, she moved to South Dakota where she worked at M-Tron in Yankton for three years. She then began working in the dietary department at the Scotland Good Samaritan Society in Scotland. Later she worked as a CNA for the home health care at Landmann-Jungman Memorial Hospital in Scotland. She went back to M-Tron for a short time, then became a med aide and CNA at Sister James Assisted Living Center for four years. Charlotte enjoyed crocheting, making afghans and needlework.
