Charlotte is Morrie's wife. Though not included in the storyline much, Morrie talks about how much he respects and loves her when teaching Albom about marriage. She and Morrie have a deep relationship. She is often working as a teacher, so Mitch does not get to personally meet her until later in the story, when she is home to care for Morrie during his last days. Morrie credits some of his optimism to Charlotte and the rest of his family.
