Charlotte Ann Schlenz (Char) was born April 7, 1949, at Kulm, ND. She was the daughter of Arthur and Leona (Nitschke) Schlenz. Charlotte received her elementary education in Fredonia, ND and her high school education in Kulm, ND. She grew up on the family farm northwest of Fredonia, ND. On the farm, she did all sorts of farm jobs, including milking cows, raising chickens, ducks and geese, and helped with butchering. She also learned how to bake and cook GermanfFood from her mother. Charlotte was a wonderful cook and loved cooking for many people. Her favorite meal to make was dumplings and strudels. She loved baking cookies, pies and bars.

On July 31, 1971, Charlotte married James Hehr, son of Albert and Irene Hehr. They made their home in Fargo, ND. This is where their first two sons, Jared James and Matthew Arthur Albert were born. In later years they moved to Blunt, SD and then to Jamestown, ND. This is where their third son, Justin Grant was born on her birthday. After years in Jamestown, they decided to move back to Fargo, ND where they presently live.

Charlotte worked several jobs over the years and was at TJ Maxx for 18 years, where she was nicknamed Char the TJ Maxx Lady, until she retired in 2017. Char met many people at her jobs and took them under her wing like a mother hen. She loved each and every one of them like her own children.
