Charlotte Chiten

Charlotte Chiten, 96, passed away on December 6, 2023, peacefully in her home.

She was born on January 4, 1927 in Mattapan, MA. She grew up in Mattapan, as did her future husband, Howard, who just happened to live right across the street. Very romantic.

The word “lively” could have been invented for Charlotte. She could charm anybody with her effervescent and playful personality. Her dry wit was second to none. Her singular sense of humor stayed strong to the very end.

Charlotte had an amazing memory. She outlived everyone of her generation of  the family. The next generation of cousins would always call her to get historic information about the family, as she was the only one left. She regularly referred to herself as “The last of the Mohicans.”

Charlotte had a passion for antiques. She loved how it bridged the past with the present.

Charlotte will be greatly missed by all of those whose lives she touched.

She is survived by her son, Paul Chiten and her daughter Laurel Chiten.
