Nursing Home with her family at her side on
Thursday, May 30, 2019.
The celebration of her life will be held on

the Zion Lutheran Cemetery. Visitation will be

She
was
born on October 31, 1927 to Floyd and Faye (Goodwell)
Bay on their farm near Perry. Charlotte attended
4D School for several years until her family
moved to a farm north of the Sumner community.
Charlotte liked playing basketball while
attending Sumner School where she graduated from
in 1945. She was baptized at the Zion Lutheran
Church as a young woman.
Charlotte married Art Rupp on November 10, 1946
in Sumner where they farmed and raised their
family. Charlotte drove the Sumner school bus
for 25 years until the school closed. Family
loved to get together, especially the Fourth of
July cookout and fireworks. She has always been
a wonderful cook which she learned from her mom.
Some of the family’s favorites are her fried
chicken, pickles, pickled beets, salsa, angel
food cake, bread pudding, pumpkin pie and many
more.
Wheat harvest was always a busy time for
Charlotte. In addition to her cooking meals, she
also drove the wheat trucks to town. When Art
would take the combines on the road from Texas
to the Dakotas, Charlotte would stay home to
take care of their children, the farm and
chores. Refinishing furniture and making wooden
crafts has always been a love of Charlotte’s.
Many of the items she made and redid were sold
at flea markets and at Bill’s Corner Trading
Post operated by Art and her.
She is survived by her sons: John and wife Lisa
Rupp of Aubrey, TX, Marvin and wife Mary Rupp of
Perry; two daughters: Barbara and her husband
Jerry Rose of Middleburg, FL, Benita and her
husband Rod Lighty of Perry; grandchildren: Amy,
Evan, Jason, Kyle, Amanda, David, Travis, Lexi,
Seth and Zach, and sixteen great-grandchildren;
one sister, Wanda Rink; sister-in-laws: Lila Bay
and Wynema Bay; brother-in-law, Donald Keith.
Charlotte was preceded in death by her parents;
five siblings: Floyd, Raymond, Lavern, Donald
and Karen.
