On November 15, 1952, a bouncing baby girl was born to Willie Grover and Bobbie Lee Mabery in Eufaula, Oklahoma.  They named her, Charlotte Louise Mabery.  She was the youngest of six children.

She moved to Muskogee, Oklahoma at an early age, she attended Douglas Elementary, Sadler, Jr. High School, Manual Training High School and graduated from Central High School.

She professed a love for Christ when she joined St. Mark Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Theodore Hickerson.  After graduation she moved to Jersey City, New Jersey.

Charlotte was blessed with two beautiful children, Judson Mabery and Samantha Mitchell.  She later moved to New York and married Samuel Mitchell.  As time progressed Charlotte moved back to Muskogee, OK; to re-establish a new life.  She moved her membership to Deans Chapel Baptist Church under Pastor Don Dumas.  As a faithful member for several years, she was a janitor, choir director, attended Bible study, Sunday School and Vacation Bible School.  Every year she would host the Annual Musical with her late husband, Elder Franklin Tate.  They also put together a festive menu for this event, that would include: Turkey & Dressing, home grown Greens, Brown Beans, homemade Cornbread and Tate Fried Chicken, which was thoroughly enjoyed.
