07/30/1931 – 03/06/2024 

Charlotte Zavala, 92, passed away peacefully at home on March 6, 2024, in Livermore, California. She was born in 1931 in Ventura, California. 

Charlotte was preceded in death by her husband David (Terry) Zavala, son Daniel Zavala, mother Nadine Gallardo Goena, and twin brother Charles Gallardo. She is survived by her sons, David and Robert Zavala, numerous beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren and her loving sisters.

Raised in La Conchita, she attended and graduated from Ventura schools including the Punta Gorda School in La Conchita. She was very outgoing and enjoyed school and community activities such as being a majorette, marching in parades and playing softball in a league from Santa Barbara. She also taught herself sewing, baking and piano playing. She enjoyed many friendships in both Ventura and Carpinteria.

Charlotte and Dave relocated from Oxnard to Livermore in the early ‘70s to follow their employment, where they worked, raised their family and eventually retired. We would like to especially thank her son David who spent the last several years helping to care for her at home. Charlotte will be missed by all. The family is planning a celebration of life later this year.
