Charlotte Annette Otts Overton, age 60, went to be with our Lord October 20, 2011 at 4:27pm due to compounded health complications. She went peacefully in her sleep. A long time resident of Tillar, Arkansas, and Mrs. Overton’s health complications caused her to move closer to her son and daughter in Oklahoma. She resided in Foyil, Oklahoma the last eight years. However, Tillar was and will always be home.
Born in Malvern Arkansas May 27th 1951, she was the daughter of and pre-ceded in death by the late Tommy L. Otts and Hollie Ruth Otts of West Monroe, La.
She was a long time employee of the Wells-Lamont glove factory in McGehee, Arkansas and the United States Post Office in Tillar, Arkansas.

She was a joyous and happy person who loved her grandchildren as much as any grandmother could love them. There was always a smile on her face when she talked to her grandchildren that not even her pain could take away. If you said “hi” to her, you were going to hear about her grandchildren.
