Charlotte Marie Purcell was born October 24, 1963 to Paul Joseph and Virginia (Davalos) Field in Los Angeles, CA. Charlotte attended school in Garden Grove California, graduating from Santiago High School. Charlotte married Dave Purcell in Anaheim, CA on August 28, 1988.

Charlotte was an amazing wife and mother. She worked hard for her family, and she was always supportive of her family's life and future. She loved life and people, and was always kind to everyone she met. She loved working at Appel Oil, so much so that she would say it was her gas station.


She had a smile and a laugh that could make anyone's day. Her happy and vibrant personality was infectious to everyone around her, and even in her final days she stayed positive, always trying to hide the pain she was in. She touched so many people's lives, and will be missed by many.


Charlotte is survived by her husband Dave; two sons and a daughter: Kevin, Keith and Kaitlyn; she is also survived by her five grandchildren, Justin, Elliot, Keileigh, Ellyssa and Tegan; her mother Virginia Field; four brothers: Chuck (Carol) Field, Tom Field, Doug Field, Clark (Kim) Field and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her father, two uncles and one aunt.
