CHARLOTTE BODER

Charlotte M. Boder, 89, of Wilmington, Delaware, passed away peacefully on January 24, 2026, at the age of 89.

Born on May 6, 1936, in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Charlotte was the beloved daughter of the late Stanley and Charlotte (Hajduk) Sudu. She was raised in White Haven and was a graduate of White Haven High School. Following her education, Charlotte became a certified beautician and worked in the profession for several years until marrying her husband, Joseph.

After their marriage, Charlotte and Joseph lived in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, where they raised their children and built a loving family life. In her later years, Charlotte made her home in Wilmington, Delaware, where she was a faithful member of Resurrection Parish in Pike Creek. 

Charlotte was deeply devoted to her family and found her greatest joy in time spent with them. She loved traveling, especially to the western national parks, where she admired the beauty of the mountains. She was an avid sewer and baker, talents she shared generously with those she loved. Charlotte was also a faithful reader of The Philadelphia Inquirer, which she read each day.
