Charlotte R. “Becky” (Johnson) Tobin, age 86
of Weymouth
Charlotte R. “Becky” (Johnson) Tobin, age of 86, a longtime resident of Weymouth, passed into her heavenly home on Tuesday, August 16, 2022 at Harbor House Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Hingham, in the comfort of her loving family.
Charlotte was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, on February 8, 1936, to the late Julius and Helen (Pugh) Johnson, with much curiosity of the world. Shortly thereafter, her family would move back to Virginia Beach, Va. where she was raised as the eldest of three girls. Charlotte would then go on to be educated in Waynesboro, Va. at the exclusive finishing school for young ladies known as Fair Fax Hall. After her education in Virginia, she would move to Florida and work as an administrative secretary. Charlotte would then meet and marry Robert A. Tobin of Quincy, Mass.
Charlotte was a dedicated mother first and foremost of five children and had ten grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren with a set of twins just arriving. She literally had four of the five children one year apart with her fifth child just a few years after her fourth.
Charlotte’s hobbies included shopping, lunches with friends, and was also a skilled artist who enjoyed capturing the eyes of the soul or still life sceneries. She enjoyed her travels abroad with her family and friends and was an active member of church. Charlotte had a thriving career in Parapsychology for years and thoroughly enjoyed lecturing and teaching of the subject. She was self-taught with much of her accomplishments. Charlotte was a gifted seamstress with a flair for design with merging both the old with the new before the trend it is today. Charlotte could literally make a knock off of the latest fashion in a magazine within moments of seeing it. From homemade braided rugs to whatever Jacqueline Onassis was wearing, Charlotte had the ability to make it better with her vision and her own design elements. Her paintings came out of her memory or a photograph from either National Geographic or a cut out from a magazine she stumbled across, or often a memory from her travels. She also enjoyed her many furry friends throughout her life. Charlotte was truly a remarkable, gifted woman that could and would do anything she set her mind to. She will be dearly missed for her intuitive nature and honesty.
