Charlotte Ann Furst entered the loving arms of her Savior on Thursday, July 4, 2019, at Rennes Health and Rehab, under the care of Aspirus Comfort Care & Hospice Services, at the age of 75.

She was born on February 18, 1944, in Winona, MN to the late Edgar and Elda (Korn) Luehmann. She met the love of her life, Douglas Furst, in high school, and they were married on August 20, 1966 in St. Charles, MN. Throughout her life she worked as a nurse for Mayo Clinic, Wausau Hospital, and ENT Associates.

Char was a loving, caring, and supporting wife, mother, and friend. She was also a caring and dedicated nurse. She enjoyed crafting and excelled at creating baby blankets for almost everyone she knew. Char found value in supporting her church, Mt. Olive Lutheran Church, and her community. Socializing was her specialty. Her great smile and kind, generous heart made her a loyal friend. Doug and Char enjoyed their time with their circle of friends in El Mirage, AZ.
