Charlotte Annabelle

Siler

Charlotte Annabelle (Craun) Siler, 83, of Blanchard, died Tuesday, January 23, 2025, with her family beside her.  The daughter of Alvin Lee Osgood and Charlotte Annabelle (Hamilton) Osgood, she was born April 2, 1941, in Piqua, Ohio.

Charlotte grew up and attended school in Del Rio, Texas.  While living there, she met Mike Siler while he was serving in the Air Force.  They quickly knew they were meant to be the forever couple and married on May 2, 1961, when Charlotte was just 20 and Mike was 22.  Mike and Charlotte moved from Del Rio to Jones, Oklahoma, and then to Spencer, before moving to Blanchard to make it their home for the last 48 years.  Charlotte was active in the Church of Christ in Jones and Purcell.  Since 1989 she has been a member and vital part of the Church of Christ that met at SW 84th and Western in Oklahoma City.

Charlotte worked as a cosmetologist in her younger years.  Many will remember her as a bus driver for the Blanchard Schools where she worked for most of her 40 years as a bus driver helping the children daily. She enjoyed taking the children on school trips and seeing the enjoyment it provided to them and she would pack a cooler full of refreshments for the children on the last day of the school year to see them off with a smile for the summer.  She also worked for a short time at Matador in Blanchard.  Through all her years of working, her most important role was that of mother and grandmother.

Charlotte enjoyed going to garage sales.  Her family fondly remembers her being one of the first at the Blanchard News stands to get the Thursday paper and make her Thursday through Saturday schedule of garage sales to shop. Charlotte had quite the green thumb and grew beautiful flowers all around her house and lining her driveway.  She also had beautiful plants in her sunroom as well as outside.  Charlotte loved her dogs and she enjoyed watching the birds at her birdfeeders and the wild deer around her property.  Charlotte was an amazing woman and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her mother and father; one sister, Jane Rice; and one brother, Fred Osgood.

Charlotte is survived by her husband of 63 years, Michael Siler; two daughters, Debbie Arnett and her husband, Les, and Michele Savage and her husband, Terry; one son, Michael J. Siler and his wife, Amy; one sister, Marie McDowell; seven grandchildren, Stephanie Peterson, Jennifer Ray, Ryan Savage, Leslie McDonald, Nolan Savage, Chase Siler, and Chance Siler; six great grandchildren, Payton Ray, Mason Andracka, Siler Peterson, Ryder Peterson, Howard Savage, and Syrus Savage; and many other loved ones and friends.
