Charlotte graduated from St. Agnes Academy in 1941 as the valedictorian of her class. After graduation, she chose to enter the Carmelite Monastery in Indianapolis as a cloistered nun. Seeking a better way to serve the Lord, she left the monastery in 1943 to join the Civil Service. She was stationed in Japan and when she returned to the US, she met John Ernest Mattingly, who served in the US Navy during the war, and later married in 1948. He preceded her in death.

Minta and Providence Sr. Mary Aileen, both of which preceded her in death. The family would like to thank her faithful physician Dr. Terry Henderson and the staff at St. Paul Hermitage in Beech Grove, where she spent the last 15 years of her life.
