Bruce Moore and Juanita C. McCoy. Charlotte attended U. S. Grant High School for five years and after a move, graduated from Moore High School in 1961. Charlotte married Danny J. Worsham, Sr. in December of 1961 and from this marriage two children were born Danny J. Worsham, Jr. and Marsha Hicks. Charlotte owned and operated the Around The Corner Restaurant in Downtown Edmond, OK for 24 years and retired in April 2012. Around The Corner was a family restaurant and Charlotte wanted everyone to feel at home and treated everyone the same and many long lasting friendships were made here. She was always joking, pulling pranks and even climbed a tree trying to save the trees on Broadway. Everyone knew her as the "Chicken Lady" and customers and family said "every time we see a chicken we think of you". "Bicycle Bob" was one of her many friends. Contributions from her customers went to the purchase of the statues in front of the Restaurant "Ham & Eggs" and "Girl Feeding Chickens".
Charlotte was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother and grandfather Geddie E. McCoy and Willard McCoy and paternal grandfather William "Tobe" Moore of Durant, OK and is survived by her Mother Juanita Foresee of Midwest City, father G.
