Charlotte Katherine (Flanigan) Nemitz, 82

Charlotte Katherine (Flanigan) Nemitz passed away peacefully in her sleep on Dec. 30, 2019, at the age of 82.

She was preceded in death by her late husband Albert Nemitz and her son Roy Pennington.

Our mom is survived by her nine children and their spouses, Rick Pennington, Randy and Linda Engebritson; Kathy Yunk; Greg Yunk; Leona Nolan; Debbie and John Frank Birch; and Robert Snow. She is also survived by 36 grandchildren; 29 great-grandchildren; and her three younger brothers and their spouses: Francis and Janet Flanigan; Kenneth and Marylou Flanigan and Walter Flanigan.

Our mom was born in Lewistown on May 27, 1937, to Maurice and Katherine Flanigan. She spent her early years in Montana before moving to Spokane for the rest of her life. Her favorite hobbies included reading, attending yard sales and playing bingo with her friends. Charlotte never had much financially, but she was always willing to give her last dollar to help one of her children or a close friend. We miss her dearly but we will never forget her inner toughness and her ability to be compassionate and caring for her family, friends and strangers.
