Charlotte Ann Pool, age 79, passed away on April 18, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and unwavering devotion to her family. Affectionately known as "Mamaw" to all who knew her, she was spirited, humorous, and wonderfully feisty, bringing joy and strength to every life she touched. For more than 20 years, she faithfully served her community as a school bus driver, caring for generations of children along her routes.

Charlotte found happiness in the simple pleasures of life—tending a vegetable garden alongside her beloved late husband, Richard, spending time hunting and fishing, and enjoying a good day of shopping. Above all, she cherished her family, who were the center of her world and the recipients of her boundless love.

Charlotte is survived by her children, Stephanie Hunt & husband, Earnest, Lavelle "Bo" Pool & wife, Lisa, April Pool and Brandy Pool; grandchildren, Justin Roark, Taylor Chestnut, Camden Mire, Jace Shelton, Megan Burnaman and Hayden Mire; 3 great-grandchildren; sister, Virginia Anderson; and brother, Jimmy Taylor.

She was preceded in death by her husband of 58 years, Richard L. Pool; father, Charles W. Taylor; mother, Ruth (Maza) Taylor; and brother, Charles Wesley Taylor.
