Charlotte Merholtz

March 14, 1936 — January 17, 2014

Charlotte J. Merholtz, 77, Appleton, passed away on January 17, 2014 at her home with her family at her side after a courageous battle with cancer. Char was born on March 14, 1936 in Shiocton to the late Arthur and Martha (Jahnke) Conradt. She was a graduate of Shiocton High School. On February 16, 1957 she married Marlyn Merholtz at First Lutheran Church in Shiocton. She was an active member of Bethany Lutheran Church in Appleton and served on the church's Altar Guild. Char was a very strong woman. During her battle with cancer, you could never hear her complain. She enjoyed cookouts and get togethers with family and friends. Char also loved animals and was a regular donor to the Humane Society. For over 20 years, Char had her “Breakfast Club”, which is her mall walking group. She also enjoyed having regular lunch dates with friends and will be sadly missed by many.
