Carlotta Maude Moulton

September 23, 1945 - June 7, 2023

Carlotta Moulton, 77, of West Charleston passed away in the comfort of her own home following a courageous 14-month battle with glioblastoma. Her family was by her side as she walked this difficult journey- handling all its twists and turns with such strength and grace.

She was born in Sherbrooke QC, on September 23, 1945 to Henry and Lucy Ashman. At the age of seven her family immigrated to the United States. She attended Derby Academy her freshman and sophmore years where she met Darald. When her family moved to Woodstock Connecticut they stayed in touch. She graduated from Woodstock Academy in 1965.

She married her high school sweetheart, Darald Moulton, July 16, 1966. Together they raised two daughters, Tammy and Julie at their home in West Charleston. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends and working in her flower gardens. On a nice day she could be found sitting in her lawn chair down by the river behind their house reading a good book. Through the years Darald and Carlotta have enjoyed several trips with the Community Circle group.

Carlotta worked at the Charleston Elementary School from 1976 to 2005, as the librarian and secretary. She was known to wear many hats there and could be counted on to fill in wherever the need. Her knowledge of the school was a valuable asset to the numerous principals and teachers she worked with. Her kindness and dedication to the students and to our community will be missed by all who knew her.

She has been a member of the Charleston Historical Society for many years. She loved spending time there helping visitors find the information they were seeking. Her passion for adding to the historical information of our town brought her great joy. It encouraged her to put together photo albums for each of her children and grandchildren showing our family history.

She is survived by her husband Darald, by her daughters Tammy and husband Ted Aldrich, and Julie Grenier and partner Mike Lyon; her grandchildren Jenna and husband Andrew Arel, Kyle and wife Desiree Aldrich, Alysha Grenier and partner Tyler and Devin Grenier and partner Mariah; her great grandchildren Maverick, Lincoln, Navy, Kohen and Baby S due in October. She is survived by her brothers Robert and wife Debbie Ashman, Roger Ashman, and niece Carrie Ashman-Ludwiczak and husband Brian. Also by several sister-in-laws and brother-in-laws, as well as many nieces and nephews. And by her beloved dog, Huck, his snuggles brought her great comfort during the past year.
