She passed away in her home, rural Fairmont, after an extended struggle with cancer on May 21, 1992, at the age of 69 years, 5 months and 15 days. She was one of 14 children in the family.

Charlotte grew up in Fairmont and graduated from Fairmont High School in 1940. She worked as a telephone operator until she became a full-time farmer's partner.

Charlotte married Federal Bridgman of Fairmont on June 14, 1941, in her parent's home. Federal and Charlotte had two daughters, Janet and Jeanne, and lived their entire married life on the Bridgman farm.
