Charlotte Ann Bennett (née Parkey), aged 84, passed away on July 24, 2024, in Oklahoma City, OK. Born on January 1, 1940, in Pauls Valley, OK, she grew up and went to grade school in Paoli, OK. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend.

After completing her college training at East Central University in Ada, OK, Charlotte began her career in education alongside her husband, C.W. Bennett, in Ada. The couple later moved to Moore in 1965, where Charlotte took a position with Moore Public Schools. During her tenure, she earned a master's degree in Counseling and served as a long-time Counselor at Moore High School. She concluded her career at the Administrative Building at Moore Public Schools as the Director of Student Services, where she managed numerous programs and became one of the longest-tenured administrators.

A talented seamstress and an avid gardener, Charlotte found joy in her hobbies, which reflected her creative spirit. Her faith played a significant role in her life. She had been a member of both First Baptist Church in Moore and Emmaus Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, where she sang in the choir and often worked to help maintain the flowerbeds.

Charlotte is survived by her husband of over 64 years, C.W. Bennett; her son, Greg Bennett; her daughter, Stacy Cox; son-in-law, Greg Cox; grandson, Ryan Cox; and brothers, Ted and Bob Parkey. She was preceded in death by her parents, Ted and Nin Parkey, and her brother, Scott Parkey.

The family would like to thank the staff of Village On The Park in Oklahoma City for the excellent services and care they provided for Charlotte.
