Charlotte Humiston
December 31, 1931 — January 14, 2015
Charlotte Humiston, 84, of Durango, joined her Heavenly Father peacefully 1/14/2014, in her home from renal failure. Charlotte was born and raised in Berlin, Germany.
Charlotte married Lloyd Underwood, a U.S. army sergeant stationed in Berlin in 1950. From there they moved together to the U.S. where they had two children. They divorced and Charlotte married Don Humiston, in Albuquerque. Charlotte worked as a dental assistant for fifteen years and then worked in their car business until her husband lost his life in a car accident in 2001. Thereafter, she traveled back and forth staying with her beloved son, Doug Underwood, in Albuquerque, or in Durango, with her daughter Deb and her grandchildren, Shane and Jessica Gibson.
Charlotte has always been extremely devoted to her family. She took care of her mother, Nellie Reiche, also from Berlin, until she passed in 1976. She adored her grandchildren, Shane and Jessica, and was always available during the summers to care for them. Charlotte moved permanently to Durango in 2011 to be cared for by her daughter, Deb.
Charlotte shared fabulous stories of her early life in Berlin, Germany. She survived the war and was a strong and caring soul. She always had a beautiful smile and sunny disposition. She loved all animals and donated to charities of that nature, along with the Veterans Association.
She is survived by her son, Doug Underwood, of Albuquerque, daughter, Deb Gibson, of Durango, son in-law, Michael Gibson, of Durango and granddaughter Jessica Gibson, of Denver.
She is preceded in death by her grandson, Shane Michael Gibson, in 2013.
The family would like to give thanks to all her friends in both Durango and Albuquerque, who helped fulfill her life; to Durango Fire & Rescue and Hospice. A very special thank you to Dr. Saddler and his caring staff at Davita Dialysis for giving her such great care this last year and a half.
No memorial service is planned at this time, but will follow sometime this spring.
In lieu of flowers, Charlotte would appreciate donations made to the Shane M. Gibson Memorial Account at First National Bank, in Durango, Co.
