Obituary for Charlotte M. Key
Charlotte M. Key, 78, former Pennellville, NY resident, passed
away on Friday July 14, 2017 at Oswego Hospital. She was
born in Chaffee, NY to her late parents, Emma (Blum) and
August Rakoska on January 21, 1939.
Charlotte was a waitress at LeMoyne Manor restaurant in
Liverpool, NY for over 40 years. Some of her passions were
her Home Bureau and the friendships she developed with the
group of ladies. She also enjoyed canning, baking, and making
her own jams, jellies, and mini loaves of bread for the local craft

smiled, felt comfortable, and making sure they never left her
home hungry.
