Charlotte Sills Faulkner

July '08 - Charlotte has entered comments to specific classmates through which we have learned a little about her of a biographical nature. I have pieced that information together to create this biographical sketch. KD

I have been married to Jesse (Buddy) Faulkner for 48 years on June 14th. We now live in New Caney just north of Bush Airport. We have been here since August, 1977. We are retired and loving it.

We have one daughter, Lisa, who will be 44 on July 20. Lisa is a Certified Wound Care Consultant and sees patients in nursing homes and also hospice patients. We have two beautiful grandchildren - Morgan Alyssa who is 19 and a college student, and Jared who just turned 17 and will be a senior next year. I am so blessed to have a truly remarkable daughter and beautiful grandchildren.

I am still very close to Hilda Terry Thorne. My husband and I just spent 2 weeks in Rogers, Arkansas visiting with Hilda and her husband of 47 years. They have a retirement home there because their son and his wife and 2 babies live in Springdale. We also went to Burnet in April to the Bluebonnet Festival.

 Please take the time now to make a comment in response to Charlotte's biography. You will also enjoy reading the comments that others have left.

Larry Smith

Hi Charlotte...

Could you please say "Hi" to Hilda (Terry) for me. Hilda was a very sweet girl, and I have some fond memories of her from our time in Deady. We were in one class where I sat in front of her. We talked some, and I had a crush on her, but I was too afraid tell her (no self-confidence). But somehow I think she knew it because of something she did on the last day of school.

See if she remembers.

Thanks...Larry
