IN MEMORIAM :CHARLOTTE WAHLE
Charlotte was an army wrapped up in a small body. She lived in Washington Heights in New York City from which she commuted to the AFSI offices doggedly in any weather at any time until serious illness felled her. My husband used to call her “Charlottemagne” which always pleased her. She loved symphonic music and insisted that it always sounded better when performed by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra.There is a cliche which is so apposite. “They don’t make them like that anymore.” Her memory is an inspiration and a blessing….rsk
Americans for a Safe Israel mourns the passing of our beloved volunteer of over twenty years, Charlotte Wahle, Z”L. She was buried yesterday at the Beth-El cemetery in Paramus, NJ. Rabbi Schwartz and Rabbi Gans officiated. A devoted group of family and AFSI friends, who made up a large part of her extended family, were present to pay their last respects. An Israeli flag was placed at her grave symbolizing her great passion for Israel.
Those who knew Charlotte were always amazed at her tenacity and devotion to AFSI and its principles. She was at every demonstration and protest, wrote letters to the editor, and was a driving force in the AFSI office. In addition, Charlotte’s interests kept her active in her synagogue, in politics, and with her many friends and associates.
Those wishing to send donations in her memory are encouraged to send them to AFSI, her favorite organization. Contributions can be sent by check, or through the donation buttons on the www.afsi.org website.
