Subject
Chellini, Charlotte Marie (Funk) (1926-2017)
Description
Photo of two separate portrait photographs of Charlotte (Funk) Chellini of Woodstock.
Charlotte was one of many children born to Oliver Milton (1898-1980) and Florence Virginia (Fogle) (1900-1994) Funk.
Charlotte was a lifelong Woodstock resident and member of the St. John Bosco Catholic Church there.
In August 1946, she married Miguel "Mike" Angel Chelini, Jr. (1924-1992), a graduate of MMA born in Venezuela. He was a Spanish teacher at Central High School for several years and active in the community.
Two years later, the couple bought a house and 3 acres near Readus, west of Woodstock, for $7,000.
During their years together, the Northern Virginia Daily newspaper reported on several of their family’s milestones including a visit from Mike’s relatives from Venezuela, the birth of their son, Michael, and a large 50th wedding anniversary party held at their home for Charlotte’s grandparents.
Mike and Charlotte had two sons, Michael III, and Richardo Anthony Chellini. Unfortunately, Richardo died unexpectedly when he was just 18 years old.
