Charlotte I. Martin
September 22, 2001 -
October 29, 2025
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Charlotte Isabel Martin, who left us unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, at the age of 24. Born on September 22, 2001, to Corydon and Angela Martin in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Charlotte was a bright and compassionate soul whose contributions to her community will be remembered and cherished.
A recent graduate of Marquette University, Charlotte earned her bachelor's degree in Journalism and Social Welfare and Justice. Her passion for the environment and dedication to educating future generations led her to work as a Senior Environmental Educator for Nature's Classroom Institute, where she made a meaningful impact on the lives of countless children. Charlotte's commitment to healthier and alternative ways of living showcased her belief in living harmoniously with the planet.
In addition to her professional endeavors, Charlotte was deeply involved in her community, securing vital resources and education for Milwaukee's youth through her work with community centers and health clinics. Her love for nature often guided her pursuits, as she enjoyed long walks in the woods with her beloved dogs, capturing the beauty around her through reading and exploring video games. Collaging and crafting with her friends was time she treasured dearly.
Charlotte is survived by her devoted mother, Angela (Rosie Kae) Martin; her loving father, Corydon (Jean Tippett) Martin and her cherished sister, Julia Martin. Each of them holds dear the vibrant spirit and kindness Charlotte brought to their lives and the wider community.
In lieu of flowers, memorial remembrances to Racine Montessori School, 2317 Howe St, Racine, WI (https://www.racinemontessori.com/ways-to-give) would be appreciated.
Charlotte will be deeply missed but never forgotten, as her spirit continues to inspire those who carry on her legacy of compassion, environmental stewardship, and community engagement.

November 5, 2025I was so sorry to hear yesterday about Charlotte's loss. I worked with her for a few months at Nature's Classroom, and her sense of humor and deep compassion for those around her were a model for what an educator should be. She was great with children and with animals, quick with a joke, and always willing to lend an ear to those who needed to be heard. May her memory be a blessing.

November 5, 2025I just have to say, I befriended Charlotte my senior year of college, so I didn’t know her long, but my goodness I grew to know her well. There was no one else I would rather see when coming back to my apartment. No one else I loved more as a visitor than Charlotte. She was the greatest soul. Her energy was everything. Her motives and care for mental health awareness and the environment always stood out to me. I loved her so dearly and I always will. Sending thoughts and prayers to you all.

November 4, 2025I feel awful about not being able to make it today from DC. I am sending so much love to Angie, Julia, and the family. Charlotte got me through some of the roughest points in my life when almost nobody else knew what was going on or how to help. She gave me a lot of grace and love when I really needed it. Since leaving Wisconsin for college, she's really been the only friend I've spent time with when I come home. I miss her, and there are many things I wish I'd gotten the chance to tell her while she was here. I love you, Charlotte. Rest easy.

November 4, 2025My daughter was friends with Charlotte for years. And while I never met you, Angela, I wanted to tell you what an amazing young woman she was. She would bop in and out of our house with my daughter, and always had a smile for me. I can see in my mind her smiling face as she waved at me saying "Hi Mrs. Johnston!" You couldn't help being in a good mood when you saw her. I will miss her coming around, loving my dogs and my kid. My heart breaks for your entire family. Please accept the condolences of our entire family.

Charlotte was and always be a light in this world, her personality was so vivacious and natural, she always had a way of making you feel at ease and laugh at the little things. I could go on for literally hours about all the wonderful memories I have of her & your family, growing up with you all in my life has been the greatest privilege and I am thankful for having known her. Charlotte was such a gift to this Earth. I am so sorry for your loss, and am sending you as much love as humanly possible.

November 3, 2025I was Charlotte’s high school French teacher for 3 years. She was one of my favorite students. We spent a lot of time together chatting and talking about her future goals when she helped me during her free periods as a student aide. Her brilliance, humor, and care for others set her apart. I knew that she would go on to do amazing things. I am so so sorry for your loss. The world is a darker place without her.

November 2, 2025Dear Angela, Corydon and Julia,
Words cannot express how deeply heartbroken we feel for your tragic loss. You were our first Kenosha friends, moving near you on 5th Avenue was a divine gift. Charlotte and Julia were the first little people we saw as we unloaded our moving truck and then you all shared immediate and immense welcoming love! From family dinners & game nights to holiday & birthday parties to school events and sledding adventures ___we cherish our Martin4 memories. I hope you all know how extremely lucky we all feel to have had the immense privilege and joy of knowing Charlotte, she was a beautiful force! We promise you that her spirit and light will never be forgotten. Our souls ache for the three of you, and for your extended family.
Jeni, John, Richard & Robert Heim

November 1, 2025Dear Mr. and Mrs. Martin, We don't know each other but I wanted to reach out and express my condolences to you. I met your daughter and spent a couple of days with her last week at Nature's Classroom. I am so very sorry for your loss. I was impressed with her high energy, positive attitude, and passion for the outdoors. She clearly loved her work and had a deep connection to nature. Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time. She was happy and joyful when I spent time with her during activities on 10/27 and 10/28 and I thought you might want to know that.
