Obituary of Charlotte Julia Reid

Charlotte Julia Reid (Wentzell) 92, of Norris Point, NL, passed away peacefully on February 5, 2026, in Corner Brook, NL.

Cremation will take place and, as per her instructions, an interment memorial will be held at a later, warmer and more pleasant, date on May 21, 2026, at 2 p.m. in the old Anglican Church cemetery at Norris Point where she will rest next to Charlie.

Charlotte was born in Daniel’s Harbour to Harrison (Harry) and Leona Wentzell (Payne) on November 14, 1933. She grew up in Portland Creek. She and her husband Charlie, had two sons who were blessed to be raised in a home surrounded by hard work, thoughtfulness, love and humour.

Charlotte is survived by her sons, Christopher [and Natasha] (Ottawa) and Clem [and Jane] (Norris Point); by her brother Robert (Portland Creek, presently residing in Corner Brook); her many wonderful nephews and nieces scattered across the country with their families; her sisters-in-law Madalyn (Corner Brook), Maxine (St. John’s), Melissa (Norris Point), and Anna (Norris Point, presently in Deer Lake); brother-in-law Calvin (Rocky Harbour). She is preceded in death by her husband Charles (Charlie); parents Harry and Leona; brothers Angus, Simeon (Sim), Varry and Hughie; brothers-in-law Eric, Henry, Walter, Clyde, Donald, Simeon; and sisters-in-law Meda, Lucy, Gladys, Bessie, Mary, Annie Mae.

In lieu of donations, take a loved one(s) to dinner, hold their hand and laugh so much others notice the love you share. 

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to the dedicated staff at both the Intensive Care and the Palliative Care units of Western Health, Corner Brook, and to the staff at Mountain View House, Meadows.

Charlotte will be remembered among her friends for her homemade bread & jam and her knitted socks & mitts. She will be remembered by her sons for her devotion, compassion, bravery, love and sense of humour … and by a certain black bear for her rudeness.
