Charlotte Fay (Fagg) Sherman was born on January 30, 1936, in Lewisburg, KY, as a twin and the youngest of ten children born to Claude and Jessie (Hall) Fagg. Charlotte’s mother died when Charlotte was only 18 months old. She attended grade school in Lewisburg. At age 14, she moved with older siblings to Detroit, MI, as her father was experiencing declining health. Charlotte continued her education in Detroit by taking business classes at Wayne University and worked as a telephone operator. On August 3, 1953, she was united in marriage to Edgar Wallace “Wally” Sherman. After Wally’s honorable discharge from the service, the couple moved to Franklin, MN. To this union were born children Beatrice, DeAnna, Dale and Reinhart. In 1969, the family moved to Balaton to fulfill a lifelong dream of owning a farm. In this wonderful family environment, their foster daughter, Sara, joined them in 1972. Charlotte worked at various jobs including as a Physical Therapist for Mr. Lyle Jacobson for over 20 years.
