Born in Ewing, NJ, Charlotte had resided in Hopewell Township for more than 50 years. For the past eight years, she was a resident of Stonebridge at Montgomery, where she remained active playing the piano for many of the home's services and events. Music was at the core of Charlotte's world for nearly all her life. Her mother taught her piano at an early age and she soon added voice and cello to her repertoire. After graduating from Trenton State College (now the College of New Jersey) in 1944, she taught music and chorus in the Cranford Elementary Schools. She continued her education at Columbia University's Teachers College, where she received a master's in music and music education. Upon moving to Hopewell, she was appointed to the faculty of the music education department at Westminster Choir College. In her later years, she was a music teacher in the Hopewell Valley School System and taught piano privately. She passed on her love of music to her grandchildren through occasional piano lessons. She was a member of the Hopewell Presbyterian Church for 60 years and served as president of the HPW, the church's women's organization. She was a longtime member of the Amicae circle and particularly enjoyed working on the church's many bazaars and rummage sales. Charlotte was a lifelong nature and outdoors enthusiast. She particularly enjoyed biking, tennis and swimming at her summer cottage on Twitchell Pond in Greenwood, Maine. She even enjoyed water skiing well into her 60s, and never missed an opportunity to host the annual family lobster fest. Daughter of the late Charles E. and Helen Hendrickson Sommers and wife of the late Donald S. Wert, she is survived by her son, Peter L. Wert and his partner, Thomas A. Rose, of Montclair, NJ; two grandchildren, Dominique and Benjamin; a sister-in-law, Doris Dye Wert; four nieces, Priscilla, Charlotte, Sharon, and Joanne; and two nephews, Charles "Chip" and David. A graveside committal service will be held Saturday, Feb. 16, at 11 a.m. in Highland Cemetery, 95 Hopewell-Wertsville Road, Hopewell. Charlotte's life will then be celebrated with a memorial service at 12 noon at the Hopewell Presbyterian Church, 80 West Broad St., Hopewell, with the Rev. Charlotte H. Sommers officiating.
