Charlotte was born and raised in Dallas. She began her service in the funeral industry at the age of 27, as a Funeral Counselor facilitating pre-arranged funerals.
She married Joe McKibbin in 2002 and moved to Waxahachie. Charlotte diligently worked, by his side, to strengthen the family business as a Funeral Counselor and in any other capacity needed. Her move to Waxahachie allowed her to be involved in the daily operations of the funeral home and community.
In 2007 Joe was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), better known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. While navigating his diagnosis, Joe was continuously involved in the day to day operations of the funeral home. The days he was unable to physically go the funeral home, he was working from home. At this time, Charlotte took a step back from the physical day to day operations of the funeral home to be Joe’s primary caregiver until his death in October 2014. Though Charlotte was not in the funeral home daily, she remained as involved as Joe in the daily operations scheduling interviews and vendor meetings in their home. To date, there remains no treatment or cure for this debilitating disease.
After Joe’s passing in October 2014, she now works along side her daughter, Chelsea, and son-in-law to continue serving families in the community. Charlotte’s mission is to further Joe’s dream and legacy, providing compassion and dignity to all the families we serve.
