Charlotte Louise Sellers aka “Grandma Gum,” 80, Bethany, MO passed away Tuesday, June 22, 2021 at a Bethany, MO nursing home.
She was born on April 9, 1941 in Dora, Alabama and was raised in Grapevine, Texas. She married Benny Tanner in February, 1961. Benny and Charlotte had two daughters, Shelby Louise and Shannon B.

Charlotte was a pillar of love, support, and strength for her girls. She was Grandma Gum to her two incredible grandchildren, Dallas and Hailey. Charlotte’s “girls” and her grandkids meant the world to her.
Charlotte was dedicated to the Lord, Jesus Christ. She also volunteered at an elementary school and regaled us with funny stories. She was an incredibly strong woman as she fought through her illnesses with class and dignity. God rest her soul. Rest in peace, Mama.
