Charlotte J. Long
September 4, 1937 — August 31, 2023
In Loving Memory of Charlotte Jane Long.
Charlotte Long, a loving mother and a dedicated family historian, passed away on August 31, 2023, at the age of 85. Born on September 4, 1937, to Charles and Lois (Shrum) Neal, she was the eldest among her siblings and the heart of her family.
Charlotte's early years were filled with the beauty of Diamond Lake, where her father worked as employee for the Umpqua National Forest. She graduated from Roseburg High School in 1955.
On August 17, 1956, Charlotte married Samuel Long and for 67 years, they built a life filled with love and dedication in the Garden Valley community and later settled along the Umpqua River in Tyee. They were blessed with three sons: Victor, Eric, and Scott Long. In addition to her role as a loving mother, Charlotte was a dedicated family historian, preserving the rich tapestry of their heritage.
Charlotte's passions were as vibrant as her heart. She had a green thumb, charismatic and loving personality, and a great artistic talent expressed through pastel. But above all, she cherished moments spent with her beloved family.
Charlotte is preceded in death by her parents, but her memory lives on in the hearts of her loving husband, Sam Long, and her three sons Victor (Beverly), Eric (Ann), and Scott (Pam), as well as her adoring grandchildren Rhiannon (Brian) Rabern, Kyle Long, Victor (Stephanie) Long, Angela (Tyler) Fox, Brent Long, and Chelsea (Brent) Corning. She leaves a legacy of love, art, and family history in the hearts of her nine great-grandchildren.
Charlotte's spirit of love, creativity, and commitment to preserving family stories also lives on through her siblings, Tom (Lucy) Neal, Linda Rogstad, Bill (Karen) Neal, and Ida (Ken) Pfeiffer, who will continue to cherish the memories they created together.
In her passing, Charlotte has left a void that can never be filled. Her legacy of love, art, family history, and family bonds will forever be a beacon of light in our lives. She will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
A memorial service will be held on September 16, 2023, at Wilson’s chapel of the Roses at 1:00 pm.
