September 19, 1938 — February 27, 2017
Charlotte MaryEtta “Toots” Knutson, 78, of Fergus Falls, died Monday, February 27, 2017, at her home.
Charlotte was born on September 19, 1938, to Charles Lloyd and Leona (Buck) Wickham in Ackley, MN, and attended school in Fergus Falls. On May 22, 1958, Charlotte was united in marriage to Gerald T. Knutson at Trinity Lutheran Church in Fergus Falls. Together they made their home in Fergus Falls and raised three children.
Toots enjoyed playing bingo and going to rummage sales, but most important to her was spending time with her family. She especially enjoyed going to all her grandchildren’s functions and games, as well as the time they spent fishing together.
