The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall, I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Whom shall I be Afraid? – Psalm 27:1 First Lady Charlotte Fox Robinson departed this earthly home on Monday, September 2, 2024. Though her spirit was left this earthly home she has entered a home not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

She could walk in a room with her radiant smile and could bring immense joy, The Joy of the Lord was her strength. Her favorite quote was “May the Work I’ve Done Speak for Me.”
Cooking was a passion, she absolutely loved it, especially during the holidays. Her family would gather in large groups during this time of the year and the desserts and dishes that she prepared were some of the most anticipated. She dedicated over 26 years of service to the Bogalusa City School. She served as the Food Service Manger at Byrd Avenue Primary School.
