Charlotte Ann (Freese) Ogilvie, 86, passed away peacefully and gently Thursday morning,
October 22, 2020 at Prairie Estates Care Center in Frisco, TX. She was born August 14, 1934 in
Bartholomew County, IN to the late James W. and Margaret V. (Jones) Freese. She was a 1952
graduate of Columbus High School, Bartholomew County, IN. Charlotte married S. Lee Ogilvie
on October 18, 1954, and they had four sons—Tom, Tim, Todd, and Ted.
Charlotte and Lee had deep roots in Southern Indiana, but they ventured to New Mexico in
1970, establishing their home and new roots in Clovis a year later. She was a member of
Central Christian Church and then 16th & Pile Church of Christ. All four boys graduated from
Clovis High School.
Charlotte started her career in the business office of the Clovis hospital until she retired in
1996, and then she proudly served in the hospital's Auxiliary as a Pink Lady until her health
changed in 2012. She was honored as Auxilian of the Year after serving the hospital over 34
years in total.
Charlotte and Lee suffered the greatest pain a parent could ever know when son Todd died at
age 19 after a motorcycle accident in 1984, and later Lee, her husband of 45 years, died in 1999
of cancer. Charlotte was a strong, principled, Christian lady who was also a wonderful,
supportive wife and an incredible, nurturing mother. She was also the loving grandmother of
six—Nicholas (Anessia), Zachary (Nicki), Julianne, Joanne, Arden and Grant, and the great-
grandmother of Julian.
Charlotte is survived by all her grandchildren and great-grandchild, as well as sons Thomas
Ogilvie (Lydia) of Moriarty, NM, Timothy Ogilvie of Clovis, NM, and Theodore Ogilvie (DeAnn) of
Frisco, TX; sisters Juanita McNeely (Wilmer) of Shelbyville, IN, Nancy Freese of Urbana, IL, and
Jack Freese (Kate) of Elizabethtown, IN. She is preceded in death by husband Lee Ogilvie, son
Todd, parents James W. and Margaret Freese, brothers Richard Freese, James Freese, and
Robert Freese, and sister Kathleen Hargrave.
