Charlotte Schumacher was born at St. Anthony Hospital in Amarillo, Texas, on August 7, 1942. She was the first born of five children to Oleda Heiman Schumacher and Andrew J. (Andy) Schumacher.
Charlotte was raised on the family farm and after graduating Nazareth High School, moved to Dimmitt, Texas, where she met and married L. D. (Corky) Rentfro. Charlotte and Corky worked for General Telephone Company (GTE) both as employees and private contractors all over Texas and Oklahoma before settling in Purcell, Oklahoma, where both their children, Tressa Rentfro Mcgill and Trigg Rentfro graduated high school.
Charlotte continued to serve at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church for many years and saw a need to assist raising young children in Purcell and surrounding areas. She opened Charlotte’s Web Day Care where she and her staff helped raise many kids in the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s in Purcell. Charlotte retired from the day care business after the passing of her husband, Corky Rentfro, but continued her service to the Purcell community in Kiwanis, (CYAP) Community Youth Area Program, Churches of Purcell Ministry Alliance, Meals on Wheels, Purcell Boys and Girls Club, St. Vincent De Paul CARE program, Purcell Chamber of Commerce, where she was Volunteer of the Year in 2006, along with teaching rights of religious education classes and other serving opportunities in Purcell organizations and at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church.
Charlotte continued to keep in touch with many family and friends from Nazareth, Texas, throughout her whole life. Those close connections assisted her to discover that her high school sweetheart, George Huseman, had also been widowed and lived in Brownwood, Texas. George and Charlotte were reunited and married on November 2, 2013 and lived in Brownwood, Texas.
Charlotte continued serving her community at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Brownwood on various boards and events, as well as a teacher of rights of religious (RCA) classes, Brownwood Kiwanis club, Brownwood Boys and Girls Club and many other various organizations.
