Born April 10, 1951 in Watseka, Illinois, Charlotte Mae was the daughter of Charles and Lulu (nee Bowen) Bohner. She was raised on a farm between Watseka and Sheldon, and graduated from Sheldon High School with the Class of 1969. Charlotte attended college at Illinois State University School of Education, graduating with a Bachelor's Degree, and later completed her Administrative Certificate. She also earned a Master's Degree from National Louis University College of Education.

On May 22, 1982 Charlotte married Michael William Farrell in the First United Methodist Church of Morris, and together they made their home in Morris. She began her teaching career with Morris School District 54 in 1973, and was employed with the district for seventeen years, before moving on to Seneca Grade School where she served as the technology coordinator until her retirement in 2008.

Charlotte was an active member of the Delta Kappa Gamma Society for teachers, as well as the First United Methodist Church where she participated in the Morris United Methodist Women's Group and Rebecca's Circle.
