Charlotte Delcie Nerses

VOORHEESVILLE - Nerses, Charlotte Delcie, 80, passed away suddenly on December 15, 2014. Daughter of the late Earl and Charlotte Hunter, Charlotte was born and raised in West Warwick, Rhode Island where she developed a lifelong love for the Rhode Island beaches. She left high school in 10th grade and went to work as a secretary until she met and married Victor Nerses, her husband of 58 years. The first 25 years of her married life, were spent raising/surviving three rambunctious boys, first in Delmar, New York, then in Frederick, Maryland. At 48, with her sons grown, Charlotte decided she wanted more from life. Figuring that raising three boys qualified her to do just about anything, she went back to complete her education. She took her GED, spent two years at Frederick Community College, transferred to her beloved Hood College to finish her bachelor’s degree before completing her education at the University Of Maryland College Of Social Work, where she graduated with a Master’s Degree in 1987. Charlotte went on to become a licensed clinical social worker, spending the next 13 years working to help battered women, abused children and young adults. She ended her career working for the Frederick office of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene for the state of Maryland. In her later years, she moved back to Voorheesville, NY, to be close to family and where she loved the four seasons. Charlotte is predeceased by her brother, Gordon Hunter.
