Charlotte Rose Crummett Kuykendall of Waynesboro, Virginia, passed away on Wednesday, August 30, 2023 which was her 84th birthday.

She was born at home in 1939 to the late Archie Samuel and Elvira Jane Dahmer Crummett in Sugar Grove, West Virginia.

Charlotte graduated from Franklin High School in 1957 and from Berea College in 1961. She taught typing and shorthand for two years at Wilson Memorial High School but spent the majority of her career as a "domestic engineer" on the home front.

Charlotte loved to travel and was proud to have visited all 50 states and attend 49 National Guard conferences across the country where she served on many Auxiliary committees.

She was a former member of Smith Creek Church of the Brethren and was a current member of Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church. She was known for her gifts of service and hospitality, serving faithfully at church and with Massanetta Springs on various committees.

Charlotte leaves behind to cherish her memory her husband, Robert P. Kuykendall, with whom she recently celebrated her 62nd wedding anniversary, children Rene (Stephen) Law of Clifton, VA, David (Laura) Kuykendall of Hiawatha, IA, and Robbie Kuykendall of Waynesboro, VA; beloved grandchildren Ariel (Tyler) Perry of Mooresville, NC, Joseph Kuykendall of Charlottesville, VA, Robert and Jacob Law of Clifton, VA, and grand-dog Sindy. She also treasured her great-grandsons, Barrett, Wyatt, and Rhett Perry who brought her great joy. She is survived by her brother Johnny (Joni) Crummett of Bend, OR, and sister-in-laws Libby Dickson of High Point, NC and Joyce Kuykendall of Littleton, CO. Charlotte was proud of her Dahmer and Crummett roots and being part of the Kuykendall family.  She leaves behind many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews, dear friends, and memories of family members that preceded her in death. She appreciated the outpouring of so much love and support over her lifetime, and especially these recent years.

The family would like to extend their appreciation to the entire staff of Summit Square, Augusta Health, and UVA Cancer Center for the care given to Charlotte during her stays.

A service of remembrance will be conducted at Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church on Sunday, September 10, 2023 at 3:00 PM.   The Reverend Dr. Fred A. Holbrook will be officiating.

The family will welcome friends and family for visitation at McDow Funeral Home on Saturday, September 9, 2023 from 5-7:00 PM.
