Charlotte Jantz Scheel, 75, of Oakdale entered eternal rest on December 26, 2023, at

Oakdale Community Hospital. Charlotte was a loving mother, grandmother, and faithful

believer of the Apostolic Pentecostal faith.

Charlotte was born in DeRidder, Louisiana, and moved to Oakdale, Louisiana, at the

age of three. She loved her family, her friends, and her dogs. She was never happier

than when bragging about her grandchildren. She enjoyed sewing and making intricate

creations from plastic canvas.

Charlotte worked for many years for the State of Louisiana. After retiring from the

Department of Children and Family Services, she was a full-time babysitter for her

grandchildren for several years. When they went to school, Charlotte started a second

career with the Allen Parish School Board. She touched many lives while working in the

Oakdale schools until her second retirement in 2020.

Those who will cherish Charlotte's memory include her daughter and son-in-law, Drs.

Adena and Scott LeJeune; grandchildren, Lydia Jantz LeJeune and Levi Paul LeJeune;

sister, Adena Jantz Jones; sister-in-law, Lillie Norris Jantz; nieces and nephews Jennie

Jantz, Jessie Jantz, Dr. Jonathan Jones, Benjamin Jantz Jones, and Rev. Chris Jones and their

spouses; and seven great nieces.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Paul and Joy Cagle Jantz; brother Paul

"Topper" Jantz; and brothers-in-law, Johnny Jones and Mike Cottongin.

The family will receive friends from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Friday, December 29, 2023,

and from 10:00 a.m. until service time at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, December 30, 2023.
