She was a classy lady with a multitude of attributes. She loved cooking, baking (especially making gingerbread houses with the kids), the beach, fishing with Gene on the High Roller, traveling the country in their motor coach, and making friends wherever they went. Most of all, Charlotte loved her family. Her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were her world. And it goes without saying that the love of her life, Gene, was her soulmate. Charlotte is survived by the love of her life, E.L. (Gene) Bishop, Sr., 5 children: Duane (Beth) Bishop, Sherea (LeGrand) Hardee, Greg Sealey, Tricia (Buster) Altine, and Gene Bishop, Jr., 15 Grandchildren and 13 Great-grandchildren, and last but not least, Virginia Heyward was Charlotte's housekeeper for 34 years and second mother to her kids and grandkids; she was, and still is, part of the family. Charlotte was preceded in death by her daughter Katherine Jean Sigred Bishop and grandson Gilbert (Trey) Hardee, III. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Hospice of Charleston Foundation, P.O. Box 417, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29465 (www.bridgessc.org).
