Charlotte Cook Candelet

Charlotte Cook (Simpson) Candelet, 90, of North Attleboro, MA, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 5, 2019 at The Branches of North Attleboro. She was the beloved wife of the late Milton Candelet, to whom she was married on August 24, 1962 and who died on February 28, 1991.
Born on May 8, 1928 in Aberdeen, Scotland, she was the daughter of the late Henry and Annabell (Mitchell) Simpson. Charlotte first came to the United States in 1935 to visit her Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Lindley, went home to Scotland, and then returned to the United States in 1936 to stay.
Charlotte was a graduate of Oliver Ames High School in North Easton, Class of 1946. She then graduated from Perry Normal School, now known as Curry College, in Boston, and from Boston University.
She taught first grade in the Brockton area from 1949 until 1962, and at the Martin School in North Attleboro for twenty-six years, before retiring. A resident of The Branches for the past five months, she previously lived with her son in Mystic, CT for two years and, prior to that, was a longtime resident of North Attleboro.
A woman of great faith, she was a member of Grace Episcopal Church in North Attleboro, and of St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Easton, MA.
She was a warm, outgoing, and gracious woman who enjoyed being around children since she was in high school; whether as a summer camp counselor at St. Margaret's in South Duxbury, or as a Nanny for two years in Hancock, NH. She loved sports, and was an avid bowler of candlepins and big pins. More than anything, Charlotte loved being around her family, especially when they gathered at birthdays and holidays. She had fond memories of returning to Scotland in 1992 after fifty-four years away and being with her father of ninety-three, several of her brothers, and her sister, Ena. Charlotte was an Associate of the Sisters of St. Margaret's in Boston and a Sunshine Lady with the Hockomock YMCA Live Y'ers, a Friendly Visitor and a member of the Board of the North Attleboro Senior Center.
She is survived by her loving sons, Lindley Noel Candelet and his wife, Tracy K. (Kelly) Candelet, of Mystic, CT; George Milton Candelet and his wife, Lisa (Mogavero), of Pittsfield, MA; Ronald Joseph Candelet and his wife, Lynn (Paul) Candelet of Attleboro Falls, MA; Gary Joseph Candelet and his wife, Linda Carbone Candelet, of Fitchburg, MA. She was the mother of the late Robert J. Candelet and his wife, Louise (Grzyb) Candelet of Cape Coral, FL. She leaves twelve grandchildren: Kyle, Kelly, Cody, Cory, Michael, Jaclyn, Mitchell, Myles, Todd, Kevin, Shawn, and Kerri, as well as eight great-grandchildren: Robin, Ashley, Shana, Kenneth, Casey, Brodie, Jay, and Xavier Matthew.  She was predeceased by her grandson, Scott Candelet, and leaves her youngest sister, Ena, of England, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
