Charolette Petrie

Charolette Yvonne Starkey Petrie (nee Cornelius) was born in Williamsburg, KY on December 12, 1944 to Claude and Edna (nee Early) Cornelius.  She is survived by her children Joe Starkey, Tracy (Gil) Cordova, Lisa Starkey, and Heather (Billy) Elam; her 12 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren; and her siblings, Sheilah (Bob) Adams and Marcie (Tim) Brady.  Charolette was preceded in death by her husband, Steven Edward Petrie, her son, Gregory Steven Petrie, her parents, and siblings Audrea Brinkman and  Bill Cornelius.

Charolette enjoyed life between Cincinnati, Kentucky and Florida, her dogs, shopping thrift stores and social time playing cards, but will always be remembered as an orchestrator of family events.  She dreamed of having her children living close to her and succeeded in that dream most of her life.
