THE LIFE and JOURNEY OF CHARLOTTE LOUISE CLERICI HOLT VINCENT 'When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.' Unknown This is a composition about a treasure, the memory of a lovely lady, gone too soon. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, and Jeffersonville, Indiana, was a girl named Charlotte. She was always an incredibly talented and decent human being. She was short in stature, but tall in her efforts and accomplishments in life. Charlotte Louise Clerici Holt Vincent passed away January 14, 2024, in Salt Lake City, UT, of natural causes. She was the first child born May 26, 1949, to Dorothy Cato Clerici and Charles (Chuck) Clerici. Charlotte was fast on her feet, barely five feet tall. As a child, and in life, she moved through her journey at lighting speed. She was a musician, a girl scout, a volunteer, and a perpetual professional student. She loved music, Christmas, bike riding, the city of Charleston, South Carolina, southern boiled custard, chocolate, walking, and traveling. At an early age, Charlotte played the accordion and was active in her Lutheran Church. She managed to financially put herself through the University of North Carolina and Purdue, more than several times. Her degrees range from Bachelor, to Master, to the ultimate Ph.D. Although she had earned many degrees, she was never boastful. Regarding her accomplishments, she was very unassuming and reserved. As a matter of fact, her adventures, her trials, and her very life were held close to the vest by Charlotte. Charlotte loved working with students as a teacher and professor. She even landed an unlikely job as a girls’ track coach when she taught in the school systems of Indiana. She was also a Registered Dietitian, and she took that responsibility very seriously, as well. Charlotte was an accomplished swimmer and diver. She could hold her own as a help mate when her family launched their substantial cabin cruiser on the Ohio River. She was an experienced camper and took great care to assist guests when they were aboard the boat and staying overnight on one of the islands accessible by boat, near Louisville, Kentucky. Charlotte loved her friends and maintained lifelong connections with people she met along her journey in life. She was a quiet soul, a private person, but a loving and accessible wife, Mother, Grandmother, friend, cousin, sister, aunt. She was a dog lover; specifically, of the Boxer breed. She never really got past losing her beloved Ceasar. Charlotte Louise Vincent will forever be remembered for her smile, for the love she had for her brother, and for all she accomplished in life, irrespective of uphill battles, challenges, and the rigors of this world. Never seemingly burdened, she brought high standards to Senior Centers and comfort to the aging population of Utah. Spearheaded the annual Celebration for the Centenarian with the Governor, all this through her employment with the State of Utah, as a State Program Manager. She filled an important role as Librarian for her late husband Don's church, she loved her family and friends, and was supportive to all who needed her. She was a treasure to many people. Her walk-in life fills our hearts with memories. Each day brings to mind the uniqueness of the life of Charlotte Louise Clerici Vincent. Of all her accomplishments, the love and empathy she carried with her daily for all she met was truly her hallmark. To a woman who lived simply, accomplished much, and loved large; you will be mourned, missed, and remembered always for doing your life, your way! Job well done, CLCV! Charlotte was preceded in death by her sweetheart, Arthur Donn Vincent.
